After White House Conference Returns to New York. President Hoosevelt Waiting to Hear from Mitchell. Text of the Operators Proposal of Arbitration. Wilkesbarre, Pa.. Oct. 14. President Mitchell was asked at noon by the cor respondent of the Associated Press Whether he and the district ollicers had the power to consider the operators' plan and end the strike. His reply was: "Without special reference to the statement issued by the co.il operators. It is a rule of our organisation that no settlement can be made bv the officers of the union without the consent of a delegate convention." In reHy to another question, as to w hether the Shamokin convention which formulated the demands to the oDera tors. or the Hazleton convention, which made the strike permanent, had given him this consent,-he said: "No." The three" district presidents are on their way here. President Mitchell will immediately go .into conference with them on the new offer. The miners' chief refused to say whether a conven tion call will be considered today or when or where such a meeting, if held, will take place. He also declined to say how Ions it would take to get the dele gates together. Mr. Mitchell continues to decline to answer all questions as to whether he is for or against the operators' plan as a whole or in part. He has not yet re ceived oflicial notification of the opera tors' desire to arbitrate. There were lively scenes about strike headquarters today. Mine workers and leaders who have not been 'near head quarters in many days di'ODOed in to hear the news. Mr. Mitchell had a num ber of visitors, among them Lewis Ham merling, w ho ai ted as a missionary be tween Mr. Mitchell and Senators Quay and Penrose in their conferences witn the coal road presidents in New York last week. Mr. llstnmerllng came in hurriedly, stayed but a short time and left without giving information to any one. It is evident that he carried a message to Mr. Mitchell from some cub. One of the local leaders who came in from the outlying territory, made this Btatement in the hotel lobby: "The men as a rule are angry at the proposition made by the operators. They day they would rather go down to straight defeat than surrender to tht operators on the arbitration plan they propose." This, however, must not be taken as the sentiment of all the men. There are many who see a ray of hope in the situation. A disposition is shown among many to trust to the good offices of the president of the T'nited States. WAITING TO HEAR FROM MITCHELL. Washington, Oct. 14. At noon today it was said at the temporary White House that no communication relative to the proposition of the anthracite coal operators had been received from Presi dent John Mitchell of the Uniied Mine Workers. The proposition was not transmitted to President Mitchell offi cially either by president Roosevelt or by the coal operators. It was addressed to the public and it is assume! that Mr. Mitchell will take cognizance of it from the press. In the event he, should not do so. t-owevr. it is possible that the president would officially notify him of th proposition ot the operators. In asmuch as the communication from the operators was in the shape of an ad dress to the public it is possible that Mr. Mitchell may make his reply in a similar manner. The nrMfrient has aereed to nnnnint I the commission suggested by the -J r e coal operators, provined such a commission should prove satisfactory to the miners. During the early part of today the president had several conferences, all bcRiing upon the strike situation. Sec retary Root called at the White House Immediately after the departure of Messrs. J. Pierpont Morgan and Robert S. Bacon for New York, and had a brief interview with the president. Soon afterward Frajtk P. Sargent, commissioner of immigration, had a conference with the president. He de clined to discuss the object of his inter view, but it was believed to be with reference to the personnel of the pro posed commission. Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright also had an extended interview with the president. At its conclusion, while he declined to discuss it, he ex pressed the belief that the coal strike was on the eve of settlement. He had no Information from President Mitchell. The feeling at the White house is op timistic. The belief is general among official and civilian callers that a long step has been taken toward a fin al set tlement of the strike. Until Mr. Mitchell makes his reply no fuither action on the part of the president is expected. It developed today that the main fea tures, of the operators' proposition were discussed and in a general way agreed to at the conference between Secretary Root and J. Pierpont Morgan in New York on Saturday last. Mr. Morgan was very anxious to bring about an ad justment and Secretary Root was able to point out means whereby the main obstacles to yielding on the part of the operators could be removed. BAER SAY'S "THKMS MY SENTI MENTS New York, Oct. 14. President Baer of the Philadelphia Reading railroad, arrived here from Philadelphii today. He said he had come to attend the regu lar weekly meeting cf the Temple Iron company. "Do you consider that the proposition 'f r t "i" i t" i in, r j l f- f V 4 J v i t: i 1 V- x v- J 1 't

J. P!erpo-jt Morgan, the 3S.an "Wtio submitted to the president in the nature of a recession from the stand taken by the operators?" he was asked. "I happen to have drawn the proposi tion myself," said Mr. Haer, "at least I had a considerable part in preparing It, and I may state that it embodies my opinions' and views Further than that I cannot say anything." Asked what he thought would be tlte result of the offer made, he replied: "1 am not a prophet." Mr. Bacr was asked whether the prop-, ositio:; looked to immediate resumption on lull time. "I do not care to discuss that," he said. President Oliphant of the Delaware Hudson was asked if the public would not look upon the proposition of the op erators as a coBcession to the miners. "It is not a concession io the miners," he replied. "It is a concession to hu manity. It is a move taken to relieve the distress prevalent throughout the country.' "The need of coal was a sei i ous matter to contemplate. If the sea son had been summer instead of winter, such a statement might not have been called 2or." President Trues.la!e of the Lackawan na said: "The whole matter rests with the president. We reserved no right to question the appointment of any indi vidual on the commission whom the president m?y see fit to appoint on the terms oi our orf:-r. I do not know ;u neuter tne president intends to con sult Mr. Mitt hell before deciding to j appoint the c mmission, and I nave no I l;lea of its possible makeup. If he sees I tit to appoint an arbitration committee and tnke our proposition we will not question the appointment of any indiv uals h.- miy select." On the subject of giving the miners "full time" when the mines were open ed. President trucsdale said he could not speak except for his own road and company. That, he said, for two years had run fuli time, except when they were shut down for repairs or because of holidays. He assumed that the old practice of the company would be re sumed. T,.orii i .u. coal 'rmru hV- c,,nT s i. ,L coal H rwilfl th i tC?Zry hd v,, !?d that H thought they had, but for his own road he could say so positively. These cars, he added are i available for the immediate movement of coal ande believed the same condi- tions prevailed with other coal roads. Some mm.n, v, .""i i,.. tne ahsenr-e ot the signature of Joim Markle, the independent operator, from til petition to President- Roosevelt. President I ow'.er .of the Ontario Western, when asked why Mr. Markle had not been one of the signers,. replied that he did not know that Mr. Markle knew anything about the move to ob tain peace.' Asked if the operators had received any assurances as to the action of ntM.t i .i.- in me matter lie l eoiiea m top. nee-ative On being asked what influences, if anv. induced the operators to submit the dif ferences with their men to the president, Mr. Fowler replied. "It was chiefly due to the pressure of public opinion, or, rather, you might say, public necessity. We recognized that the public would suffer from scarcity of coal if something was not done soon, and we concluded that it would be honorable lu overlook in a measure the rights of the in terests that we represent in order that a way out of a serious predicament mi"ht be found. Many of the schools were getting ready to shut down and still greater hard ships might be suffered." District Presidents Nichols and Fahy arrived here from Boston at 2:30 o. m. They had been addressing meetings in the interests of the miners. Mr. Nichols had nothing to say, but when Mr. Fahy was asked what he thought of the new turn of affairs he said: "The strike cannot be settled without the consent of the men. We are not dealing in gold bricks of any kind." "Do you mean by that that the opera tors' arbitration plan is not accepta ble?" he was asked. "Make any deduction you want to." he replied. MITCHELL CENTER OF INTEREST. Wilkesbarre. Pa.. Oct. 14. President Mitchell of the Miners' union, refused point blank to talk for mtblication at this time on the new proposal for arbi tration of the strike, laid before Presi dent Roosevelt last night, by presidents of the coal-carrying railroads. No offi cial information can be had as to his views and he himself does not know whether he will make a statement later in the day. The news of the new ofTer was variously received by the striking miners of the region. It did not be come known until well in the morning and there were many different views taken bv the men. There is a large number of mine workers who favor a f J; s. Offers Solution of the Great Cosl Strike rejection of the offer as formulated by the operators while there are equally as many who see some (rood in the offer. The miners, however, have the greatest confidence in the judgment of their leader and it is certain they will leave the matter in his hands. to work out. The citizens of the region generally are rejoicing at the new turn of affairs and feel confident that the step just ta ken by the operators will result in much good if not a speedy settlement of the great conflict. President Mitchell received the news from the representatives of the press after 1 o'clock this morning-, the moment it was flashed here from Washington. He had been informed by the corres pondents that a conference was in progress in the Whits Kcuse and decid ed to wait to he&r what its result would be. He immediately retired after learn ing of the arbitration offer and refused to have anything to say. He came down from his room at S:20 o'clock and was again tak:r. in hand by the reporters, but he once more refused to discuss the proposition saying he had not read it. Later in the morning after he had read the operators' address to the public, he told the newspaper men that he did not know whether he would have anything to say t'.uiing the day. His attention was called to the assertion in the ad dress that possibly only one-half of those on strike are members of the un ion and he also declined to discuss this phase of the document. Comparing President Mitchell's offei marls to the president of the United States ten days ago with that of the operators made last night there are many persons who look upon the oper ators' cfTer as a counter proposition and believe that the miners will treat it as such. Mr. Mitchell's offer to the presi dent was that he should appoint the commission. The operators go that far and a step farther, by stipulating that the members of the commission must be selec ted from various occupations or professions suggested by the com panies. Gossip at strike headquarters showed that many miners were against the new plan because no recognized represeniau of the workmen is m- eluded in the operators' suggestions, urnes he can be selected under the h f ,.a man of promil!ence, eminent n Cneinlo-ist t bc,Vonthls a Vli 3- w'.5'ch; stfJk?. SyV UT ,th! President of the Lnited States to select a judge from about tour men. In fact the element against the latest offer of the operators pick flaws in every clause of the new offer. Those in favor of the plan feel that President Mitchell should accept it and trust to President Icose velt to make the board or committee as impartial as it is in his rjower to do under the conditions laid down by the operators. They do not favor a coun ter proposition as is being suggested by those asainst the latest plan on the ground that it would ao no good and i: would cause puonc sentiment wm ch the miners think is with them, to turn toward the ooerators. The best judgment of those who have been associated with President Mitchell throughout the strike, men who have watched his every action and talked with him privately, is that the arbitra tion plan is unsatisfactory to him. Ow ing to the tremendous pressure being brought to bear on both sides to end the conflict it is not improbable that the miners' leader will waive his objection and advise that the proposition be ac cepted. The three district presidents are not here, but they are on t eir way to this city. They will hold a conference im mediately after they all arrive. There is some talk that a joint conference of the three anthracite districts may be called and the whole matter laid before the miners themselves. Tfie situation summed up briefly is still mixed, but the outlook for an ending of the strike at no very distant date is regarded as hopeful. MORGAN GOES TO NEW YORK. Washington, Oct. 14. Messrs. J. P. Morgan and Robert S. Bacon, his part ner, breakfasted at the Arlington this morning with Secretary Root. At 10 o'clock Mr. Morgan and Mr. Bacon boarded their special train on the Baltimore Ohio railroad and left for New York. When asked by a representative of the Associated Press whether he had any thing to say, Mr. Morgan replied: "I think you have enough for one day." He declined to make any further statement. Secretary Root and Mr. Bacon also re fused to discuss the situation. HOW FAST COAL CAN BE MINED. New Y'ork, Oct. 14. When the miners" strike shall have been officially declared at an end the full force of 143,000 mei. will report for duty within 24 hours, says a World dispatch from Wilkes barre. Pa. Seventy-five thousand tons of coal can be mined, it is believed, and be ready ror shipment in 48 hours, and the amount increased to 100,000 or 125,000 tons a day at the end of a week. It can be moved to New York and other Atlantic cities in EG hours from the time it is brought from the mines. A fact that seems to indicate prepa ration on the part of the coal com panies to transport coal in large Quan tities Is the arrival at coal shipping centers of sn increased number of cars. HIS BACK BROKEN. Scranton, Fa., Oct. 14. Orlando Schooley, who was taking a crowd of newly recruited men to work at the Edgerton colliery in Jermyn Monday- afternoon, was set upon by a mob of 100 and beaten so badly with clubs and stones that it is feared he will not live. When taken to the emergency hospital at Carbondale it w?. found that his back was broken. The recruits who were with Schooley Were allowed to go unmolested on their agreeing to take a train out of town. They said they came from Wyoming county and that they w ere to be given jobs as firemen at $2 a day. A conapany from the Thir teenth regiment at Oliphant arrived at the scene of assault on a special train after the mob dispersed. According to the claims of the opera tors, work was resumed at four collier ies in this district, the Bellevue and Hyde Park of the Delaware, Lacka wanna Western: company in this city. and the Johnson Nos. 1 and 2, of the New York, Ontario Western com pany in Piieeburg. All; the companies, with the exception of the Delaware Hudson, reported good isized increases m the working forces at their various collieries. The Pennsylvania company had a gain ot eighty, all told. At United Mine vvoikers" headquart ers the statement was given out that the Bellevue was opened with even mer. secured from other Delaware, Lacka wanna Western collieries, and that only one car of coal was hoisted. It was fuither asserted that the engineer, fire bes and assistant fire boss at this mine quit work when the non-union men appeared. The claim 'was made that since Friday forty men- had been in duced to quit work in the Scranton dis trict, most of them employes of North Scranton collieries and that the Plym outh No. 2 washery of the Delaware Hudson company &ad to shut down yes terday because of desertions. At the Delaware Hudson company's office it was stated that this washery is only worked when the breaker is not being' operated, and that yesterday was one of the days tne breaker' worked. Assistant Supt. To bey of the Delaware, Lackawanna Western company stat ed that the daily output of his com pany new is 10. WM tons. The North End Glee club, numbering 5 voices, composed almost exclusively rf strikers, gave a complimentary con cert last night to the officers and men the Twelfth regiment at its camp lu North Scranton. Washington, Oct, 14. The operators have agreed to the axraointment of a commission to be appointed by the pres ident of the United States to whom shall be -referred all tiuestions at issue "be tween the corapank apd their own em ployer, whether they belong to a union or not, and the decision of the commis sion shall be accepted ty the operators. The commission is to consist of an army cr navy engineer officer ."-an expert mm- engineer not ronneeted with the coal mining propepiiesqpe of the judges of the United. Stlltes cmBtof the east ern districts of Pehnsyrvania, a man of prominence eriiifictt ns.a sociologist and a man who tvy active participation in mining and selling coal is familiar with the physical' and commerical features of the. business. The ooerators also make a part of their proposition that the miners shall return to work as soorr as the commission is constituted and cease all -interference with nonunion men. The commission is to name a daW when its findings shall be effective and to govern conditions of employment be tween the company and their own em ployes for at least three years. The statement was read to ti--e presi dent as an act of courtesy before being given to the press. TERMS OF ARBITRATION. Proposition of the Coal Barons to Settle Strike. Washington, Oct. 14. The coal opera tors have agreed to the appointment of a commission to be appointed by the president of the United States, to whom shall be referred all r;uestions at issue between the companies and their own employes, whether they belong to a un ion or not, and the decision of the com mission shall be accepted by the opera tors. The commission is to consist of an army or navy engineer officer, an ex pert minins engineer not connected with the ccal mining oroperties, one of the judges of the united States courts of the eastern district of Pennsylvania, a man of prominence eminent as a so ciologist, and a man who, by active par ticipation in mining and selling coal, familiar with the physical and commer cial features of the business. The operators also make a part of their proposition that the miners shall return to work as soon as the commis sion i3 constituted and cease all inttx ference with nonunion men. The com mission is to name a date when its find ings shall be effective to govern condi tions of employment between the com panies and their own employes for at least three years. AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT. Secretary Cortelyou, by authority of those present at the White House, made public the following authored state ment concerning the conference: "Mr. J. P. Morgan came to Washing ton w-ith his partner, Mr. Bacon, at the request of the coat companies, who de sired that as a matter of courtesy their statement should be shown to the presi dent before it was made public. Hav ing been laid before the president by Mr. Morgan, it is now given to the press: "To the Public. 'The managers of the different coal properties comprising the anthracite coal fields wish their position in the present strike to be understood, and therefore make the following statement of facts: There are in the anthracite regions about 75 operating companies and firms and 147,000 miners and workmen (of which 30.000 are under age) comprising some 20 nationalities and dialects. "Of these workmen, possibly, one-half belong to the United Mine AVorkers' un ion, of which Mr. John Mitchell is pres ident That organization was originally formed in the bituminous coal region, and three-fourths of its- members are miners of bituminous coal, and bitumin ous coal is sold in active competition with anthracite coal. The remaining workmen in the anthracite fields either belong to no union whatever, or do not belong .to the Mine Workers' union. THE PRESENT STRIKE. 'The present strike was declared by the mine workers' union on the 10th day of May; 1902. Since that time many workmen not belonging to or not will ing to follow that organization were working about the mines. From 7.000 to 10,0'ib are now at work. Many more have wished to work, but have been prevented by a course of violence toward those working: and toward their families, accompanied by the destruc tion of properties and the fear of death or bodily harm to every man who wishes to exercise his right to work. 'A schedule is annexed hereto show ing some of the things done to create this rein of terror and every instance stated can be verified by reference to the officers of the law, civil and mili tary, in the anthracite regions. This vi olence has continued and steadily in creased notwithstanding repeated dis avowals by Mr. Mitchell, and it is clear that he either cannot or will not pre vent it, and that the rights of the other workmen cannot be protected under the supremacy cf the mine workers' union. PROFITS HAVE BEEN SMALL. "The coal companies befieve that the wages paid in the coal regions are fair and full, and all that the business in its normal condition has been able to stand if the capital invested is to have any reasonable return. The profits have been small, several of the companies -.-ive l-i -cone banXrum and beer, reorganized several imes Several ha v. nwjr paid dividends, and !he dividends of the -thers lave ben a ttiaH return for the capital invested. It is not, however, th purpose of this statement to diccuss this question. 'The undersigned are not and never have been Mnwilling to submit all ques tions between them and their workmen to fair tribunal for decision. They are not willing to enter into arbitration w ith the mine workers' union, an organiza tion chiefly coroposed of men in a rival and competitive interest, and they are not willing to make any arrangement which will not secure to the men now working, and all now or hereafter wish ing to work, whether they belong to the mine workers union or not, the right and opportunity to work in safety and without personal insult or bodily harm to themselves or their families. P'or these reasons the arbitrations heretofore proposed, have been declined. THE OFFER TO ARBITRATE. "It will be remembered that at the conference in Washington, October 3, we made the following offer: That we would take up at each colliery anv al leged grievance, and, in the event of a failure to make satisfactory adjustment the .Questions at issue to be submit ted to the final decision of the judges of tha court of common pleas of the district in which the colliery is located. This offer was made by us in good faith and we desire here to reaffirm it. "The coal companies realize that the urgent public need of coal and the ap prehension of an inadequate supply for the approaching winter calls for an earnest effort to reach a practical con clusion which will result in an increased supply, and the orcsidents of the com panies desire to make every effort to that end which does not involve aban donment of the interest committed to their care and of the men who ara working and seeking to work in their mines. This responsibility they must bear and meet as best thev can. "They therefore restate their position: That they are not discriminating against the United Mine Workers, but they in sist that the miners' union shall not dis criminate against or refuse to -.-.-ork with nonunion men; that there shall be no restriction or deterioration in quan tity or quality of work, and that, owing to the varying physical conditions of the anthracite mines, each colliery i3 a problem by itself. COMMISSION SUGGESTED. '"We suggest a commission to be ap pointed by the president of the United States Cif he is willing to perform that public service) to whom shall be referr ed all questions at issue between the re spective companies and their own em ployes, whether they belong to a union or not,- but decision of that commission er shall be accented by us. The com mission to be constituted as follows: 'First An officer in the engineer corps of either the military or naval service of the United States. "'Second An expert mining engineer, experienced in the mining of coal and other minerals, and not in any way con nected with coal mining properties, either anthracite or bituminous. 'Third One of the judges of the United States courts of the eastern district of Pennsylvania. 'Fourth A man of prominence, emi nent as a sociologist. 'Fifth A man who by active participa tion in mining and selling coal is familiar with the physical and commercial features of the business. MEN MUST RETURN TO WORK. 'It being the understanding that im mediately upon the constitution of such commission. in order that idleness andnou. production may cease instantly, the min ers will return to work and cease all in terference with the persecution of anv non-union men who are working or shall hereafter work. The findings of this com mission shall fix the date when the same shall be effective, and shall- govern the conditions of employment between the re spective companies and their employes for a term of at least three years. 'George F. Baer, president Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, Le high and Wilkesbarre Coal company, Temple Iron company. 'E. B. Thomas, chairman Pennsylvania Coal company, Hillside Coal and Iron company. 'W. H. Truesdale. president Delaware and Lackawanna Railway company. ,rj, powPri president Scranton Coal company and Elk Hill Ccal and Iron com pany. 'R. M. Oliphant, president Delaware and Hudson company. 'Alfred Waters, president Lehigh Val ley Coal company.' A note appended to the statement read: "The schedule referred to in this state ment was not brought from New York, as it had not been completed." SUES GEN. HUGHES. Kobert Elliott Claims He Owes II im for Coal. Suit was filed in the court of Topeka today against Gen. J. W. F. Hughes, not as a brigadier general of state militia, but as a coal dealer. Robert Elliott, being duly sworn, etc., says that the ex-mayor, "although often requested, failed, ne glected and refused." to separate himself from the sum of $243.75 which.it is alleged, was due the plaintiff for coal. He attaches a bill for nine car of the carbonous gem. Eip-ht cars were listed at $37.51 each, or $1.50 per ton for a car of 23 tons. The last car, on September 4, came higher, and the bill called for $1.75 per ton, a "rise" of 5 cents per ton. On that same day the general paid $100- on the bill, for which he is duly credited. The suit was filed by Thomson, Springer and Price, of Burlingame, attorneys for the plaintiff. Gen. J. W. F. Hughes has something to say about the case himself. It is this: "It is a case of breach of contract, some thing like this: Elliott contracted to fur nish me so much coal at a stipulated price. Instead of doing so, he "raised" on me before the expiration of the contract, and I refused to pay him or receive the car of coal on which he raised the price.. T have money in my hands to pay him, but I will not do it unless he fills his contract." GLEVELAfjB TALKS Ex-President Maps Out Course for Democrats. Should Force Tariff Reform as the Issue. MUST KEEP UP FIGHT. By Active Work Democratic Representation Will Increase. Importance Attaches to Demo cratic Ascendancy in House. New York, Oct. 14. To a representa tive of the Evening Postwho asked him his views in regard to the outlook for and the duty of the Democracy in the approaching congressional elections, ex President Grover Cleveland said: "It seems to me that if the Democracy is really in earnest it can not fail large ly to increase its representation in the next congress, but in order to do so I think that there must be a constant and stalwart insistence, upon the things which are recognized by all to .be true Democratic doctrines. Of course, by far the most .important of these is the tariff reform. On this issue, I am satis fied that the Democracy is face to face with a great opportunity. All of the signs of the times point to a recogni tion, far beyond all party lines, of the benefits which would accrue to the peo ple by a readjustment of the tariff, and it would be worse than folly for the party under the stress of any tempta tion or yielding to any allurement, to permit this to be subordinated to or overshadowed by any other issue. "The present restlessness in Republi can circles on this subject often amounting to protests against .Republi can protection theories, should warn the Democracy of any impending dan ger. I mean by this the possibility that our onponents may crowd us from our position on this subject if we allow them to do so by our lukewarmness and in difference and to occupy our ground, just as we permitted them to crowd us from the ground that belonged to us on the question of sound money. "I am very much pleased with the deliv erance of New York Democracy on the tariff issue, and it was fit and proper that the Empire state should sound the rignt note. It is my clear conviction that the best assurance of success for the Democ racy in the next national campaign will be found in a sincere and unremitting in sistence upon its old-time doctrine of a fair and beneficent tariff readjustment. This insistence should be from now on. It need hardly be said that success will de pend upon the presentation of tariff doc trine, rot only recognized as truly Dem ocratic by those who rray be termed vet erans in the party, but also commending itself to the hosts of the younger men of our land. Thousands of -these await the opportunity to espouse a cause which must appeal to disinterested Jove-of coun trv and which is based upon thoughtful rf gawl f all our people and the safety of the institutions under which we live. To these young men no hope is offered for the realization of their patriotic aspira tions except through the conscientious en deavors of the Democratic party. "I am at a loss to understand by what process of reasoning the notion has gained a footing in certain Democratic quarter?, not only that no importance attaches to a Democratic ascendancy in the next house of representatives; but even that it misht be advantageous to party prospects in lSf-4 for it to continue in its present minority now. Political warfare ought to be regarded as continuous, and, if the re sults battled for are worth having at all. they are worthy of our best efforts at all times and under all circumstances. Con stant vigilance and unrelenting attack are essential to victory. Armies are cap tured bv first driving in the outposts. "I can not believe that the bright pros pects of the Democracy in the present campaign are to be marred by any lack of hard work and strenuous fighting." QUARTS OF PEARLS. Gems of Great Value Are Being Found in Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 14. Louis C. Bunde has returned from the pearl fish eries in the western part of the state and Is now exhibiting to his friends a quart measure of the precious jewels, nearly all of them being of perfect color and form. One pearl found in the Mississippi river near Prairie, due Chitn this season and bought by Mr. Bunde is valued at $10,000. Three others in the last collection of the Milwaukee man are worth, together, $0,00. In the last four weeks the fishermen in the vicinity of Prairie du Chien have had exceptionally good luck, finding $31,000 worth of pearls, nearly all of which were bought by Mr. Bunde. There are nearly 2.T.00 pearls in the lot, some of which are as lari;e as a common marble, while oth ers are as small as a French pea. r;ne of the pearls bought by Mr. Bunde a few- days ago resenuues a doorknob, but is seriously marred by a wart" in the centet of the top surface; otherwiss this pearl would be worth revr-ral thousand loltars, as the lustre and coler are perfect, and the ?ize is remarkable. One of the three stems of the collection is nearly a half-inch in diameter, and is valued at $3,000, another at $2,000, end tha third at $1,500. The first of the three has the perfect gray color and the lustre of tae most precious gems among tlte pearls. The second is smaller and a trifle darker, while the tnird is cf a pink tint and small er than either of the others. AH three of these gems, however, are perfectly round. With few exceptions these pearls were found in the bed of the Mississippi river, where the principal fisheries are now lo cated, although sora-2 finds are constantly being made in other streams in the slate. MILLIONAIRE ON TRIAL Col. Ed Butler Faces Court on Bribery Charge. Columbia. Mo., Oct. 14. Judge Hocka dav opened court promptly at S o'clock and called the case of Col. Ed Butler, the St. Louis millionaire politician, indicted on a charge of attempted bribery in con nection with the city garbage contract, be ing tried here on a change of venue, but the defendant failed to appear. One of his attorneys looked for and found Butler stUl in his room at the hotel. Shortly af ter Btitler appeared in court. Judge Chester. Krum. for the defense, opened the argument on the demurrer. In supporting the demurrer to the Butler in dictment, the dffense made its strongest argument against the validity of the gar bage retluctien contract, let bv the board of health, members of which Drs.

The police positively refuse to use the "stage names" given by arrested par ties. Last evening a bunch of jointists were rounded up. Some of them hand ed in their nom ue plume when asked for their names, but the docket doe? not indicate that they got out the best of it. The names are listed as follows: J. E. Wadsworth. Charles Lawson. Ea Owens, alies Simple Simon, John Cash, Louie Wagner, C. Crist. Charles Peter son, John Andrews. James Sheasley, alias S. B. Squirt. They raised the cus tomary $50 each, thereby leaving a do nation of $850. It has been suggested that when a man insists on using two names he should be given a fine of $50 for each one. BURTON IS HERE. Kansas Senator Looks Better After Hawaiian Trip. Senator J. E. Burton arrived in Topeka today on his return from Chicago where he went Saturday. He is looking extreme, ly well and his ocean voyage to Hawaii apparently agreed with him. He will re main in Topeka over tomorrow night, at which time he will open his campaign in Kansas with a speech in Lukens' opera house in North Topeka. "We had a delightful trip," said Senator Burton in the Copeland lobby at noon to day, talking between handshakes with the politicians gathered there. "We were gone two months and three days and did not encounter an unpleasant day during the entire time. Those Islands are delightful in their climate and delightful in their people, but just now the conditions there are the reverse from what they are here. While we are enjoying abundant prosperi ty they are suffering from commercial de pression, caused partly, I think, as the result of a boom which the islands had soon after annexation, and partly because of the low price of sugar and the high price of labor. Of course the islands are now a part of this country and our labor laws are in force there, consequently the cheap Chinese labor is excluded and the Japanese have taken advantage of it to put up the price on their labor. If cheap labor could be imported there the islands could compete .with any country in the production of sugar. "We investigated conditions very fully there, but of course it would not be prop er for me to speak of our findings until the committee makes its report to the sen ate. We will meet in Washington early in November and formulate our report. Then it will be submitted to the members of the commission who did not make the trip, and if it meets their approval will be presented to the senate." "Do you want to say anything about state politics?" Senator Burton was asked. "No, there is no question about that now except as to the size of the majority. We would have a big majority now apd we will make it bigger before election. Just make that as strong as you please." Whila. Senator Burton was talking a number of politicians had shaken hands with him, and at this point Chairman Stover.of the Republican speakers' bureau, came up. "I want to see you right after dinner," said Senator Burton to him, "and find out where you are going to send me." "We are going to start you in here, over in North Topeka," replied Stover. "When?" "Tomorrow night." "That's pretty short time to prepare a speech," said Senator Burton. "That doesn't make any difference," said Stover. WEATHER W AS COLD. Promised Rise in Temperature Failed to Come.

SPORTONEWSi dermis," Best pf 3-Year-Olds, Says Green li. Morris. Declares Ziegler's Colt Is Cham pion of the Turf. UP TO M'CHESSEY NOW. If Western Youngster Can Beat Old England The Well Known Turfman May Change His Mind. Chicago, Oct. 14. The News says: Green. B, Morris, one of the best known owners In the United States and" an authority on horse flesh, who arrived at Worth with, his good stable of ten yes terday, advances his opinion that Her mis Is .way and by far the best of any of the :-year-olds shown in the east this year and says Ire will have to look upon- Hermis as the champion of the turf east or vest. unless McChesney makes good with- Old England, Som brero,. Homestead and Cunard, the pick of the Morris stable. "I have heard of McChesney and am anxious' to see him race, but it will take considerable to convince me that he is better than Hermis from what I have seen of the eastern colt," said Mr. Mor ris. "Hermis is certainly a speed mar vel and had he been anywhere near himself when he started in the Ameri can Derby there certainly would have been a different story told. The victory of Hermis in the Jerome stakes, at a mile and a quarter, with 128 pounds up, over a dead track, in 2:06 1-5, made the big owners wonder at iiis prowess and then and there stamped him as the best of his age which he had met or which had been shown on the metropolitan tracks. "I have a couple of good selling platers in my stable, but Hermis was far superior to them at any distance. "However, with all praise for Hermis, I do not say that McChesney is not a grand i-ace horse. He has done every thing asked of him- and I am willing to vote him the champion of thD year if I see him perform and such perform ance merits it." Some wonderful racing may be seen in the next few days.-,- Mr. Morris has four of the best 3-year-olds in the coun try in Old England. Homestead, Som brero and Cunard. The last narr.d was saved all last winter purposely for the Derby, while the other th.ee wers rac ing in California. Mr. Morris hop-d to send Cunard to Washington pork for the big blue ribbon event, but the colt did not train good and the colors of Mr. Morris were not seen In the classic event, although his stable was backed heavily in the winter book, even by Owner Morris, whose choice was Cunard. Old England seems to be the best in the stable and his performances in the east were remarkable. He comes to Worth as fit as a liddle and, as Mr. Morris said.ready to meet all comers. Mr. Morris, however, is not much of a person to praise his own goods. Neither could give the names of the ten horses' in his string but called up the stable .mascot. Snowball, to do the talking for the benefit of. the press and public in general. Snowball is only- a mere colored boy; but he -is, Vail horse," as Mr. Morris says, and he knows just what is right and wrong and will have none of the latter about the stable. Furthermore, Snowball is the only one about the big stable who can show the thoroughbreds to strangers twenty times a day, answer all questions of the inquisi tive and still hold his temper, it s lies, sah," and "No, Fah,' with him to all. They say Snowball possesses a peculiar supernatural power over horses and when the big colts go to the post in stake en gagements where they are supposed to meet better horses Snowball passes the mvstic stick over their heads and says. "Presto, winno all the moneysky" and then sits on the fence at the head of the stretch until the field comes by, when he waves his mncic wand, and the result is marvelous. He has never failed to bring home the money, they say. Then he pets the horses until they have learned to re SDect him and when he gallops them over the course during the early morning he tells them funny stories until they be come charmed and travel miles and miles without showing signs of distress. In this way they are hardened and made fit for anv kind of task asked of them. The complete list of the Morris stable includes Old England, Sombrero, Home stead. Cunard. Durazzo. Artois, Gold V an Slave, Gravina and Stuyve. Every one of these will race at Worth unless they go wrong. They were picked out of a bunch of twenty-two and the other twelve sent on to California. Mr. Morris will only remain for the Worth meeting, when he will ship direct to San Francico ready for the opening of the season November 15. M'GRAW'3 SILENCE. Promised Players Ask Him to Keep Awfully Mum. New York, Oct. 14. Within a week or so it is expected that John T. Brush the new owner of the New York Base ball club, will return to this city pre paratory to completing a few more de tails relative to increasing the strength of the team for next year. The annual meeting of the club occurs before long m Jersey City, and at that time Mr. Brush will be elected president for the ensuing year. The club made some money during the past season, but by the articles of purchase Mr. Brush has it within his jurisdiction to declare the amount of the dividend that will fall to the stockholders. In the meantime, John J. McGraw, manager of the club, has not been idle, and it would not be surprising if one or two players in adition to those already mentioned would become members of the team. McGraw has preserved silence regarding the "make-up" of the nine next year because he has ascer tained that some of the men whom he has signed are having some trouble in securing their salaries from the teams which they are about to leave. The owners are in no hurry to recompense the players if they think they are going to lose tneir services tor another year. Manager McGraw said the other day that he had got the very men for whom he bad -tried all the summer, with one exception, but must maintain his peace. as the players had informed "him that life was being made none too pleasant for them after it- had--been rumored they were about to change their alle giance. Christy Matthewson, the New. York pitcher, has gone to join one of the pro fessional football elevens. He was very anxious to play football last fall, .but he was persuaded not to attempt It for fear that he might be seriously injured and his effectiveness as a pitcher be ruined. Mat thewson is one of the best punters who ever wore a football uniform.. Het is hot very fast on his feet. as. is well known by the baseball contingent of New York, but he can "boot a football" so far that other full backs turn green with envy. Matthewson did make a promise to play with the St. Louis American League club next year, and so did Bowerman. The players met McAleer, the St- Louis man-, ager, at the Gilsey House, in this city. July 19. Both were of the Impression, tint they- had escaped observation, and' yet. strangely enough, the moment the rumor was published that they had Jumped, ,'a certain individual who had seen them on the night in Question Hi the company of McAleer confirmed at once the report that they had met him. Clarke Griffith, who has been named as the possible manager of a New York American League club, has returned to Chicago, and denies that he expects to. leave Comiskey. Everybody who is men tioned as having any connection with the New York American League club denies the story as soon as it 1s published, and baseball enthusiasts are beginning- to wonder if the American League has been fooling this city as it fooled the support ers or the game in Buffalo. LIVEIiY -FOOTBAIX GAME. Two Emporia Elevens Indulge in Bough. Playing. Emporia, Kan.. Oct. 14. Monday afternoon the first football game be tween the State Normal and the Pres byterian college, the two Emporia schools, was played at Midway Athletic park, and the Normal team won after a hard fought game by score of 6 to 0.- Half the town was on tne sidr- lines and enthusiasm ran high. The two schools are playing for a beautiful sil ver cup to be held by the school which wins for two years out of thre?. The college won the cup last year.' In the game todiy the two t?aui.5 ".vers evenly matched and it was more by luck thai, the Normals won than fty- sunetlar playing. In the first -half .the college Doys naa the best of the geme and twice crossed the goal line, hut each time fumbled the ball before it was called "down." In the second half the Normal boys had the better wind and scored a touchdown. The Normal boys had the better formation of the two teams and that was their strongest point, men- best gains were made in the second half by repeated line, bucks. The tackles. Davres and Wilhoit, and the backs, Lee, Ise and Priest, Dlaved the star games for the Normals. The college boys lost much ground on fumbles. Plum, the college's right half, made a 40-yard run in the first half. Moses, Plum, McCabe. the college backs, played hard. Griggs" tackling and Edi son's end work were .features of the game. Four policemen were on the grounds to keep the college and Norma! boys from "rushing," but in spite of them they mixed. Policemen s clubs were flourished freely and a Normal boy; Manahan, suffered a fratured skull from a blow by a policeman. The town people were much incensed by the se verity of the cops. DUBUQUE FISTIC CARNIVAL. Long Programmes for Next "Wednes day and Thursday. Dubuque, la., Oct. 14.--The boxing carnival to be held in this city October 15 and 16 in connection with the street fair and big Gern-an day celebration is attracting attention in fistic circles. The event of the first night is Benny Yanger's contract to put out two men in twenty rounds for a purse of $1,800.

HERMIS IS AHEAD. Eastern Colt Wins Handicap With Import of 126 Pounds. New York. Oct. 14. The first Mama roneck handicap, the feature event at Morris nark, was won bv L. V. Bell's Hermis. Despite the fact that he was carrying an impost of 126 pounds and giving away from two to 39 Dounds in his field, he won by half a length from the light weigh ted Warranted. Advance Guard Was third, half a length awav. Two to one was laid against the winner, while Warranted. who carried only 87 pounds, was plaved down from 10 to 1 to 6 to 1. The time. 2:08 for the mile and a quarter, was excellent, as the track was slow. Coruscate, backed down from GO to 1 to 30 to 1, won the second race, for maiden 2-year-olds. Brunswick, Her mis, Old Hutch and Zoroaster were the winning favorites. Lyne and Rice each rode two winners. Jockey Lyne today signed a contract to ride for the Keene stable next year at a salary of $20,000. Racing at Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 14. Jack Demund, back ed from. 5 to 2 to S to 5, won the Free handicap, the feature of t're card at Worth, in a galloo with six lengtna to spare. Scarlet 1 i!y finished two lengths in front of Rolling Boer for the nlace. Captain Hugh Bradley, in the first race, won by six lengths, eased up, after be ing backed from 10 to 1 to 6 to 1 at post time. Rose of May. backed from 8 to 1 to 9 to 2. won the second- race all the way. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, .Oct. 14. If You Dare and Lazarre were the winnine favorites of a fair card at the fair ground.

The barn storming Kansas City Blues ended their series here with the local team by roll ing up 23 runs, while El Paso squeezed in 1. That one run came in the first half of the seventh inning. Forsythe placed a long one for two bags in the right field and Sullivan sacrificed him to third. Hackett came up and knocked a hot liner to Orr.dy, who muffed it. Forsythe scored and was giver. $50 by the management, which -nade this offer to spur the boys on to keep from being shut out. Nebraska Needs "Work Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 14.

Three touchdowns were all Booth's men could score. A sloppy field, frequent penalties, fumbles at critical moments and short halves, perhaps, robbed the Cornhuskers of three additional touchdowns, but against such a team of striplings as Grinnell, any team working smoothly in its of- tense ought to pile, tip touchdowns un til the storekeeper should raise the sig nal oi distress. CORNELL GOOD AS ANY., College Football Team's Work Daring vii in- New- York, Oct. 14.--The football-sea- son of 1902, -which had opened so brllr liantlyi 'the leaders in-a class by them selves, winning easy victories'' over' the smaller, kami, tudderily felj Saturday into'a state of' turmoil.

Columbia, as well as the others, ran into a snag, and it was that of the Col umbia team which kept the score down to five points. On the whole, Cornell was the only team in the field whose work-on the gridiron was a distinct im provement over the work of the Satur day before. Fumbling is still a pretty general fault, though this was undoubt edly due in some measure to the weath er. Still there are a number of men on the big teams who have not yet learned the simple lesson of holding on to the ball. Considering the general situation, Harvard disclosed the fact that she has a great quantity of available substitute material of average quality for prac tically every position, and in this re spect her prospects are superior to those of any other of the leading universities. Harvard's outlook is for this reason alone better today than that of any other team on the gridiron. Of Yale there is little to say except that the team is overconfident, and seemed tto have lost its speed and -was guilty of fumbling. Brown showed up magnificently with a team whose swift work, both on the defensive and offen sive, would try out any aggregation in the country. Princeton showed a slight improve ment over her work of the past week and played a slow, butfairly aggressive game against the lighter naval cadets. There was less fumbling by the Tigers than by any other one of the big teams. McGOVERN AND YANGEK. Open for Bids for a Twenty Bound Contest. New York, Oct. 14.

Training for the greatest local football game of the reason that is to be played Saturday after hoon on McCook field with the Drake uni versity, team of Iowa, was commenced by ihe University of Kansas candiates Mon day afternoon. The work will be per fecting the team work, the interference fend the defense and the cripples will be given every chance to get in condition for the game. While Drake was defeated by Iowa Saturday by a score of 12 to 0, the Kansas boys feel sure that the team will probably be as strong as any they will go against this year, and they will make WKy every effort to be in condition to play better than ver. Much satisfaction re sulted from Saturday's game as it showed vast improvement in the work of the team over that done earlier in the. week.-. While it would be difficult to point to those points in which improvement has been made, yet the work was so much better as a whole that it indicated that Curtis' work wai makings a-- growing team, one that would continue, to show better in each succeeding game until the close of the season. Quite a good deal of the work this week will be behind closed gates and the weak points will be strengthened and the new men will be given a chance to show what they can do before the close of the week. GRAND CIRCUIT FIGURES. Rythmic and Direct Hal King, Bees of the Season. Cincinnatl.-O.. Oct. ,14 The Grand Cir cuit racing season for 1902 closed with the postponed races at Oakley track in Cin cinnati. As usual, the Grand Circuit open ed with the blue ribbon meeting at De troit the middle of July and since then the cirarat tnreult stables have raced In a doen cities. 1 he niK3-?st winner of the vear was Scott Hudson's brown horse Rhythmic (2:06). Started almost exclusively in stake engagement-?, he was raced at 10 meetings. not oeip.g started -at-eitner Cleveland or Reedvllle, and won a total of $21,850. The only time he was .behind the money was afc- Providence, -where he was distanced. bu"t three' Weeks later he won first and third moneys by distancing one of the t? other starters in' the race with him Rhythnic's winnings weie over $4,000 lamer than these of Electa (2:0fil4). who stood at the r.eaii of the stable last year. Close Denina .linytnmic in money won this season is Ed Greer's phenomenal pacer, Direct Hal (2:00',4), who was. like blind Rhythmic, an unmarked performer In' the opening of the season. Direct Hal started out by winning the Chamber of Commerce stake, at Detroit and not only wpn more races than any other horse started in Grand Circuit company, but ac complished the feat' of winning every race in which' he was a participant. The California mare, Anzella (2:07Vi) by Antrim, ranks next to the two leaders with -a total of- $14,850, and close behind Anzella' is the bay gelding, Major Delmar, winner of the Massachusetts $15,000 stake. The onlv otller horse in the iist winning over $10,000 is Tw.nkle (2:05), a stable com panion of the mighty Rhythmic. The superior earning -capacity of the trotter over the lateral-gaited pacer Is well dem onstrated by the fact that of the first 20 animals in the list not less than 13 ire trotters. Bowling of AU-Americans. Owatonna, Minn., Oct. 14 The All-Amer-ican trio, for the week ending October 11, won thirty-one games and lost four, their total pins being 19,391 to 17,216 for their op ponents.

Smith was making ar rangements Monday afternoon with the view of leaving today for the coast, but prohablv will not get out before tomorrow. Smith is a man that tht? Santa Fe can ill afford to lose here, but his connection with It at San Bernardino will Mill give it the value of his services. He spent ine winter residing in San Bernardino and thinks so far as that part of the-transfer is concerned, he will like it. He will not vet take his family with -him.

Fau'kenberg killed his wife at their home in Argentine on the night of July 31. The defense--was insanity. Judge Holt Instructed the jury to re turn a verdict or eitner murder in., tne first or second degree, or-ac-quittal. It was looked upon as a' foregone conclu sion that the verdict would either be first degree murder or acquittal, but it was not thought that the jury would agree so quickly. The verdict, which means life im prisonment to Faulkenberg. had little effect on the prisoner. When the verdict was read his face did not chanee ex sression. As he was led back to his cell in the county jail he told a deouty sheriff that it made little difference. "1 can't live very lonsr, anyhow," said the prisoner, and if I had been acquitted by the jury today I wouldn't have known where to go." Faulkenberg is a mental and physical wreck. A moment after he had fired the shot that killed his wife he turned the revolver on himself and fired a bul let into his own brain. The bail lodged at the base of the brain- and is in such a position that the surgeons cannot re move it. Were they to extract the. ball the operation would probably result in his death. The wound is painful and causes the murderer to hold his head in one position all the time. The case will not be appealed. W. J. Fuller and Will Sutton, Faulkenberg's attorneys, will not receive a penny for their services. The prisoner s father en listed the sympathy of Attorney Fuller in defendins the son, and Fuller got Sutton to heli him in the trial of the case. It is believed that the words of a for tune teller caused Faulkenberg to com mit murder. He suspected tnat his wife was faithless and the (evidence brought out in the trial showed that he had gone to a fortune teller who told him that his suspicions were correct; that his wife was untrue to him. The words of the fortune teller caused Faulkenberg to grieve constantly and he became melancholy and morose. It was shown in the trial that he contemplated mur der. One witness testified that Faulken berg purchased a revolver and engaged m- -target practice for a- week before the killing. BURGLARS WERE HUNGRY.

Weir City, Kan., Oct. 14. The city is full of Italians, dressed in holiday attire and gaudy uniforms. Fairmount park, to the east of the city, is covered with tents, booths and dancing floors, three bands discourse patriotic airs and the soft and musical language, peculiar to the race, to gether with the shoulder shrug and elo quent gesture, is the only language used. It is the occasion of the annual meeting of the members of the Italian Beneficial Society of Cavour. that every Italian seems to be connected with in some man ner. Every train since yesterday morning has brought in delegations from Pittsburg, Joplin, Frontenac, Chicopee and other sur rounding towns, and the crowd last night was estimated at 2.000 persons. Tne parade was a long one and many were dressed in the high colored and pretty uniforms or the order. Three bands.- Weir City, Chic opee and Frontenac were placed at equi aistant points in the procession and played alternately. Frank Mulani of this city acted as marshal of the day and perform ed the duties in an excellent manner.

TQPEKA STATE JOUHNAI TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14. 1902. RAILR0ADJ1EVS. Santa Fe to Inaugurate Uni form Apprenticeship System. Complete Course of Training for Apprentice Boys. OFFICIALS PLAN IT. Was Discussed at Albuquerque Meeting. Other Work Taken Up by Me chanical Department Men. It is the purpose of the Santa Fe me chanical department to put in effect a uniform system of training its appren tices, according to a recent statement of Superintendent of Motive Power O. R. Henderson, whereby every young man who takes up an apprenticeship in the company's shops will be given a complete course of training. He will be required to spend a -certain length of time on each machine, in case he be a machinist apprentice, and for those in the blacksmith and boilermaking de partments it is probable that similar arrangements will be made. Mr. Henderson, while he was assist ant superintendent of motive power for the Chicago Northwestern, had such an arrangement and it worked admir ably. It is not only beneficial to the company in that a better class of men emerge from their apprenticeships, but it redounds favorably to the individual employes who so serve their time. Most of the trades in railroad shops, at least In this part of the country, require their apprentices to serve four years' time before they can be entitled to the privi leges of a full-iledsed mechanic. It -will be seen that by dividing this time into parts and laying out a schedule which each apprentice shall follow the ma chines upon which he shall work ac cording to their importance, and per haps the proficiency he must show in this part of it before being advanced, both employer and employe will gain. Heretofore the custom in this respect has been lax. Within the last few months, however, comments of approval upon the course of the Topeka shop offi cials have been heard in regard to the manner of giving the boys an oppor tunity to get the most out of their time and effort exercised for the Santa Fe In times past, it seems, the advance ment of the apprentice boys has de pended partially upon the whims of the foreman in charge. With the arrange ment of a regular system of promotion and changing about this would be ob- 1 viated. At the meeting of mechanical super intendents and master mechanics held in Albuquerque, N. M., last week this subject came up fo consideration, and it i certain that as soon as the ollicials can reach it the inauguration of the change will be commenced, it has l.een a matter of complaint on the part of the machinists and olh'r orvfisnien that too many arpre-.tic" were l.eirg graduated from the railroad shops of the country, a!. st'pulatu-ns h.r e bee- talked of looking to an apportionment of the number. It has been suggested thit the number of apprentices in machine chops be limited one to every five ma chinists. The reason for ihis demand is in the fact thn it has been feared the trade would be overcrowded by large number serving their time, and by limiting that number the class o tradesmen would also orobably be im proved. Superintendent of Motive Pow.?r Hender Fon. who returned the first of the week from Albuquerque, se"-ns leased with the course which th- conftrence of mechanical men took and with the general conditions of matters on that part of th' system. The boilers of the engines which were more or lets run down by the lack of re pairs on them during the disaffection among the boilermakers is being slr.vivl overcome. There is still much work of this class In sight, but it will be all brought up in the course of a few months. At Albuquerque, where the company has next to Topfko shops the finest me chanical plant on its system, arrangements were made in advance and an exhibition of the work of the new electrical engine hoist was shown the officials. By means of that machine the wheels of a consoli dation locomotive were put in place in 17 minutes after the big hois; beaan lifting the boiler from Its blocks. This hoin was constructed in the Topeka boiler shop Inst snrir.g and set up here in order that its parts might fit together properlv. Th?n it was shipped Wfst to Albuquerque. where It hps since been in service. Its work will, of course, scarcely compare with that of the electrical cranes now awaiting the fluid to be turned on in the new building here, but it is of Inestimable value as labor saver in such a point as Albuquer que. In attendance upon the conferences were A. F. Hilton, general storekeener. and As sistant General Storekeeper Rice of Albu querque. The significance of their pres ence was that with them the handllne of supplies for the department over which the mechanical department men have ju risdiction had some relation. Other ques tions discussed were the handling of work In greater bulk at the larger shops; the economy of lubrication; repairs on locomo tives, this particularly with regard to a systematic arrangement, and fuel econ omy. It is understood that the fuel bill of the entire system runs up into an item something like three million dollars, and it is calculated that considerable saving might be made in this respect if the en gineers could be brought to a certain min imum of coal and oil consumption for the locomotives which they run. Those attending the meeting were: Su perintendent of Motive Power Henderson. Alfred Lovewell, assistant superintendent of mctive power; Mechanical Superinten dents F. N. Risteen, G. R. Joughins and C M. Tavlor: Master Mechanics Barnes, Herr Todd, Harlow and Foreman Sam Jewell of Gallup, N. M., besides General Storekeeper Hilton and Assistant Store keeper Rice of. Albuquerque. BLOW TO BROKERS. Permanently Enjoined From Selling O. A. R. Excursion Tickets. Washington, Oct. 14. A decision or sweeping importance to the ticket scalpers and the railroad passenger business generally has been delivered by Justice Hagner, of '.lie Equity court of the District of Columbia, who per manently enjoined 33 of the local ticket brokers from selling Grand Army spec ial excursion tickets issued by the Penn sylvania, Southern. Baltimore Ohio and Chesapeake Ohio railroads. The defense of the brokers was that they were pursuing a legal licensed broker age business and that the rai'-wavs in combining in the establishment of a joint ticket agency here during the en campment fo certifying return tickets, etc., violated the Sherman anti-trust law'. The court held that tickets sold by the roads on account of ti-.e Grand Army encampment bore contracts sign ed by the purchasers in the presence of a witness, and were absolutely void when used by any other than the origi nal purchasers. The tickets distinctly read that any one except the original purchasers attempting to use them would be subjected to prosecution for forgery. The contract signed by the or iginal purchaser is absolute, according to the court, and any violation of if constituted fraud, on which the su.i r.t bar for the injunction properly was based. The court declared that the con tentions of the complaining roads were tenable. As to the claim of the defendants that the roads violated the anti-trust law, the court held that the ioint ticket agency could not be considered in that light, as the agency had nothing to do with the fixing of rates. Further, the defendants had shown that they were violating the law and could not Dress as a defense the violation of a law by another party. ROAD TO GOLD MINES. New Connection for the Santa Fe Is to Be Constructed. San Bernardino. Cal., Oct. 14. It is now practically assured that the rich Searchlight camp of southern Nevada is to be entered by a railroad. For some time past a number of railroad men have been investigating conditions on the Califorina side of the Colorado river with a view of running a line from Purdy. in San Bernardino county to the Searchlight camp, a distance of twenty eight miles. The building of this road will open up one of the richest mineral fields in Cali fornia and Nevada, and will enable owners to work the low grade gold properties that are now lying idle. Be tween Needles and Eldorado Canon there are hundreds of mines that will produce largely of gold, silver, lead and copper. If conditions are right. Condi tions will be made so by the construc tion of railroad conectlons with the out side world. The Searchlight camp, one of the big gold producers of the west, is now great ly handicapped by reason of lack of railroad facilities. Operators in that section will welcome the new road. From a semi-official source, it is learned that actual work will be under way within sixty days. STUBBORN FIGHT. Santa Fe Refuses to Obey That Citrus Fruit Order. Demurrer has been filed by the Santa Fe in the action instituted by the In terstate Commerce commission against the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific in volving the routing and division of citrus fruit shipments from southern California. An order of court required defend ants to answer and to appear October 9 for the purpose of having other orders' made as might be applicable. Instead of replying the Santa Fe system filed a demurrer thit raises several questions of law; first, that if the facts stated in the petition of the Interstate Com merce commission are true, it is alleged the commission is not entitled Lo relief, second, it is alleged the proper parties are not before the covirt. Practice will be to have this demurrer set for argument, and after it is deter mined, if adversely, the court will fix day when defendant corporations will be reculred to answer. If decided in favor of the railroad companies that disposes of the subject for the time. Proceedings on the issue are pending in the circuit court of the United States for the southern district of California, and the action is entitled "The Inter state Commerce Commission vs. thi Southern Pacific company, the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company, the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad company, and the Southern California Railroad comnany." Who Will Take Evans' Place P There is another good railroad attorney ship vacancy to fill besides the Missouri Pacific case. W. F. Evans, assistant gen eral attorney of the Rock Island, goes to Jim Dumps' good wife cried out with glee: "A happy thought has come to me! You're tired of boiled eggs and of fried, Baked eggs with Force' you've never tried." She served them what a treat for him I Wife got a V from "Sunny J Im."

Ctzoe fomUhed on application St. Louis on January 1 to become general attorney of the St. Louts and Colorado line. This leaves a vacancy in the Rock Island legal department. M. A., Low, gen eral attorney of the Rock Islana system, has the appointment to make. Rumor has it that a supreme court judge also wants that dace. EEAMEP.'3 AXE. Santa Fe Superintendent Said o Have Trouble Ahead. San Bernardino, Cal., Oct.l. The Sun says; Though nobody hardly dares breath the matter, it is expected that there will be several sorts and brands of things doing in Santa Fe circles on this divis ion upon General Manager A. G. Wells' return from Canada, where he has been for two weeks on a vacation trip. It Is whispered that Mr. Wells and Super tendent W. B. Beamer will be the chief participants in the skit and that C. C. Wray, who has been obliged to resign as chief disDatcher with the company at this place will be the bone of conten tion. The prologue to the looked-for "turn" is this: For some time past Superintendent Beamer has been making a very no ticeable slaughtering of the various heads serving under him at various points on this division. Among local men who have fallen under his ban are or more correctly were, W. W. Came ron, W. H. Baty and C. K. McMullen. These gentlemen, all of whom, accord ing to the men who nave worked by their side for months, were experts in their line, and why they should have been called upon to go is still one of the mysteries to which Mr. Beamer alone holds the kev. Rut they went, nevertheless, and then Mr. Beamer. or "pa," as he is playfully called by the men, looked for new f-elds to conquer. Next to cause his displeasure was C. C. Wray, at that time trainmaster, and that gentleman was immediately trans ferred to the position of chief dispatch er. At this point, it is stated, Mr. Wells took a hand in the matter, stating that Mr. Wray was a good man. and that he raw no reason why he should be iet down, much less reason why he should be let out, which .seemed to be Mr. Beamer's ultimate intention. At this the superintendent put away his axe and was good for several dav. For when Mr. Wells said "stop that" It meant stop, at least until he got out of town. And this the general manager did when, two weeks ago he got into his private car and left for Canada on a pleasure trip. Then came Mr. Bea mer's chance, and as a result. Chief Dispatcher Wray has tendered his res ignation, to take effect tomorrow. And now it is stated that all this was done without Mr. Wells being made the wiser. And it is further said, as has heretofore been intimated, that when the general manager finds it out, as he surely will, providing he has not al ready been acquainted with the facts, there will be blood on the moon. Mr. Wells has one of the strongest pulls of any official in the employ of the Santa Fe. and it is remarked that Mr. Wray is one of his favorites. This being true, just what Mr. Beamer will do when Wells comes home, remains to be seen. DONT GET THE RAISE. Santa Fe Apprentices at San Bernar dino Are Anxious. The San Bernardino Sun says: The Santa Fe apprentices in this city are mad. It will be remembered that several days ago it was announced, on the authority of a company official, that the -aDorentices were to receive,. an 11 cent-raise, beginning October 1." The boys themselves had been acquainted with the company's intention and from all indications there was not to be the slightest hitch. But there has been one, and the apprentices claim that at the last moment the raise has been denied them. The represintative of the ap prentices says: "To begin with a new rule was nlaced in effect by the company about six months ago whereby all apprentices hired after the date of the announce ment were to receive 10 cents more a day than had been the rule before. This gave the new men 11 cents per hour. When this rule was given out no pro vision was made for the apprentices who had been employed before the date of the raise, they continuing to work according to the old wage scale at 10 cents per hour. Naturally this did not please the old men and they went to the division master mechanic. S. T. Park, holding that office at the time, and sta ted their grievance. He appreciated their feeling in the matter and agreed that it should be remedied. It seems, however, that about that time Mr. Park stepped out of office and the matter was not attended to." In all probability there is some mis take in the matter as all local officials have heretofore been noted for their justice and from all that can be lam ed of Mr. Todd, who is as yet new in the community, he will uphold his end in seeing fair play. About a year ago, when the Santa Fe gave its laborers in this eitv a raise of 25 cents a day just such trouble was experienced. For sev eral weeks the old employes were oblig ed to work for $1.50 per day while the new men hired were put on the pay roll at $1.75. The injustice of this was point ed out and the company hastened to remedy the trouble. It is understood that even now the local officials are working on the trouble concerning the apprentices and the raise may yet date irora October i, aa was originally stated. HERE'S AN "OPPORTUNITY." Parchment Proofs of John J. In galls Poem Issued by Santa Fe. When John J. Ingalls was alive.he wrote an autograph copy; of his famous sonnet "Opportunity." Fae-similes of this docu ment have been published In the large eastern magazines as an advertisement of the Santa Fe, and they made such a hit that the Santa Fe has gone a little fur ther on -the same. line. Elegant proof copies of the poem have just been published on heavy parchment paper in form suitable for framing. The edition of these parchment proofs is very limited, and is intended for distribution chiefly among railway officials. There are a few extra copies in the charge of Gen eral Passenger Agent W. J. Black whicli will be sent on request to those sending return postage. Rock Island Earnings.

John Heberer, who went east for a short visit after the train which he had been pulling for the summer, the Colorado flyer, had been taken off, has returned. Curtis Monlcal, chief clerk to Division Superintendent McLellan, has a new desk set connecting with the outside world .by telephone. It will save many a tlredstep. William Powell, who- has been suffering with a slight indisposition for some days, being unable to work at his bench at the tin shop, is well enough to report for duty. Charles R.

Bert Shields, a flue setter In the boiler shop, Mrs. Shields and baby have gone to Iowa to settle up some business affairs relating to an estate of which he is an heir and to visit relatives. Charles Aiiderson, formerly an operator for the Rock Island hre. now an Associ ated Pres operator in the office of that organisation at Kansas City, was in To peka the first of the week. Hammer No. 3 of the old blacksmith shop was in full operation Monday. It is located on the east side of the new shop building and oil is the fuel used in the furnace which supplies it. T. M. Ramsdell, general car inspector for the Santa Fe, was in Kansas City Monday. From there he will go immedi ately to Chicago to Inspect the new mail cars which are being built for future service on the Santa Fe. Workmen were occupied placing in the planing mill Monday a new boring ma chine to take the place of the old one over which A. Fogelquist has had control for a long time. Foselquist will have the new one under his direction. Edward Fuller was absent from the Sec ond street switch cabin Monday. Shanty gossip had it that Fuller had gone down on the Wakarusa with half a dozen gunnv sacks, his secret intention being to corner the walnuts along that stream. John E. Dennis voucher lerk In the of fice of General Passenger Aent Black, has resumed his desk after a two weeks' absence. Dennis is a member of com pany A, First regiment, and after partic ipating in the Riley maneuvers was slight- ly indisposed and" unable to work for a short while. Charles Haag of the air brake corner In the machine shop arrived Monday af ternoon from Chicago, where he and Ms wife have been spending the few days since their marriage. They will be at home after October 20 at 412 Jefferson street. Rev. R. Arthur, pastor of the Presbv tenan churoti at Logan, stopped off in To peka Monday for a brief visit with his son, John Arthur, of the storehouse. Mr. Arthur has been attending the Presbyter ian synod at Holton and was on his way home. David Hodgson, flagman for the Sar.ta Fe at its Eighth street crossing, has yielded the colors for a few days: tripped over some carpet in his house, falling and injuring one knee so severely that he is scarcely able to walk. Flagman Garrity takes his place. Claude Maze, the boiler shop man who dropped a piece of metal on one foot Sat urday morning, is not likely to be in shape for earning his regular stipend for some days. The member is badly swollen and will not let him work for some davs un less recovery is exceptionally rapid. Considerable coal is arriving hi the yards and the high price of the commoditv makes it necessary for the watchman to guard closely lest some people sneak into the yards and carry off in sacks quanti ties which may seem small, but which cut off much of the profits of the dealers. Bricklayers were busily engaged Monday evening in laying up the walls of the third lavatory, located near the nortnwest cor ner of the new boiler and machine shop. It will be similar to the other two, having wash room, lockers and the like for the men who are to be enrolled for the Santa Fe. Locomotive 228. the little shop engine which has been completely rebuilt in this plant and which is to run about the yards and pick up machinery of four tons weight or under, and the only of its species in the world, was given a fire Monday after ndon and will probably go out on trial trii. Engineer William Sherman has returned home to Topeka after being in Osage City a week. He was substituting for Thomas Porter, who w-as laid up with a sore knee and could not go out on the Quenemo branch. Mrs. Sherman was in Osage City while her husband was running out of there. F. Vertelkamp, the Louisville brass man who is working over the refiiFe matter from the Topeka foundry of that metal, already ha3 snipped out three carloads of cinders from which, he proposes to extract the brass. Tt is calculated that he still has a week's labor ahead of him with the forty or more men in his employ. Lines of the Rock Island wesc of here, particularly ir. Colorado, have been soft ened with the last two days by rainfall. Monday's trains from there were accord ingly late, but the condition is now be lieved to be improving. The Santa Fe is still having some difficulty keeping up time with its through passenger trains. John Dubeck and William Maloney are figuring on going down south and enter ing the service of the Isthmian canal con tractors, if that project ever gets to the contracting stage. They are confident that they will be immune from mosquitoes and malaria, all of which they may have a chance' to prove some day. Louis Deutscher, foreman of the tinners, is glad over the return of two former men who were employed under him but who for some months have been out of the service. Bert Barnett and William Boettcher were assigned numbers in time for a day's work Monday. Tills causes William Klussman and Fred Bartlett to be shifted back upstairs in the coffee room, where before the change they were on duty. A. W. 'Smith, a machinist who was re cently picked by Superintendent of Ma chinery Ben Johnson of the Mexican Cen tral to go to Aguas Calientes. Mexico, and set up and operate a tie-pickling plant for that road, plans to leave Topeka. about October a), possibly a little later. He will report first at the City of Mexico for in structions. Mr. Johnson expects to move his family to Aguas Calientes a little later in the year or by next spring. Hjalmar East, a brother of Fred East, heater in the blacksmith shop, since his recent return from India, where he has been laboring as a missionary among a wild tribe of natives, has been seized wltn malarial fever at a hospital In New York, where he was operated upon for appen dicitis. His condition is not thought to be serious and it is probable that in the near future he will visit relatives and friends in this city. His plan is not to return to India under about a year. John Layne has a gang of 20 or 30 men climbing about the framework of the top part of the new boiler and machine shop like squirrels in trees. They are embel lishing the skeleton of that great structure with the drab paint which is to give it its permanent color. Some of the fellows which Layne hired were afraid to tackle the job on account of the height, hut the present force do not seem to be allowing that to interfere with the use of their brushes. One of the heating conduits on the west side of the new boiler and machine shop, and in the south end of that building, has been completed and presents a satisfac tory appearance. Concreters are now oc cupied oa the east side. The air which heats the building is forced out through a ventilator tube about five feet above the floor of the building. It has been suggest ed that at a comparatively slight expense the Santa Fe company could provide for the comfort of its sweating employes in summer by placing a quantity of ice on the pipes through which the winter hot air is run and operating the fans, thus keep ing a cool stream of atmosphere coming out into the shop, the same as hot air when it is cold. FRIEND OF DOLLY MADISON Mrs. Josephine Ward Nearly 80 Years Old Dead in Gotham. New York. Oct. 14. Mrs. Josephine Ward, a friend of Dolly Madison and of Mrs. Julia D. Grant, widow of Gener al Grant, is dead at the home of her daughter in this city. She was nearly 80 years old. Mrs. Ward in her. youth was one of the belles of Kentucky. Her maiden name was Harris. Her grandfather, General James Taylor, of Newport, Ky, took part in the war of 1S12 and loaned his large private fortune to the government. Miss Harris was related to three pres idents of the United States. She was a first cousin of James Madison and Gen eral Zachary Taylor and distantly re lated to Thomas Jefferson. Between her and the beautiful Dolly Madison there was a warm friendship and she fre quently visited the home of the Madi sons at Montpelier. Miss Harris was married in 1847 to George W. Ward, a prominent cotton broker of New Orleans, who died in 1870. COURT POET LOSES CHANCE Herr Von Wildenbruck Didn't Get to Make Boer Speech. Berlin, Oct. 14. Herr von Wildenbruch, who is called the court poet, owing to Emperor William's special favor, had been active with the committee preparing for the Boer-generals' reception here and was going to deliver the welcoming oration. But since the generals have forfeited official countenance Wildenbruch suddenly announced that he was going on a trip to the Tyrol for his health and issued an address to the Berlin not to wave their hats but to give money to the Boers.

Judge Allen Hyden, county judge of Owsley county, was shot from ambush about daylight this morning. Judge Hyden first made the race for the nomination on the regular Republican ticket and was de feated. He then ran in the regular elec tion on the fusion ticket and the elec tion resulted in a contest which was lately decided by the court of appeals in favor of Hyden and the fusion ticket. During the contention there was much bitter feeling and fears were entertain ed of trouble. Deputy Sheriff Wilson of Owsley county reached here today and tele graphed for bloodhounds. The judge was shot in the back and his hip was broken by a second bullet. Former Kansan a Suicide. Gutbrie. Okla., Oct. 14. S. C.

After lying burled for over a century, the famous English prison ship Jersey, in which several hun dred Americans were martyred while the British held New York in the days of the revolution has been accidentally dis covered at the Brooklyn navy yard by the workmen who are putting up the launching stays for the battleship Con necticut.

Carbineers who were sent to preserve' order were received at Gaicratana with volleys of stones. They fired their revolvers in the air, but this failed to overawe the rioters, who dragged one of tha soldiers into a house and killed him. The carbineers then en deavored to retreat to their barracks to procure their rifles, but tfiey were so closely pressed by the mob that they were compelled to fire their revolvers iu self-defense, with the result that two peasants were killed and others were wounded.

The State Journal Is a member of the .Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great new or ganization for exclusive afternoon publica tion in Topeka. The news is received in the Ptate Jour nal building over wires; for this sole pur pose, busy through the entire day. A complete copy of the nifcht report is also received. The chair of football at Washburn col lege seems to need a little attention. The survivors of Edith Willits' raid on Kansas are talkine of holding a re union. Capsicum and hot tamaliea in large doses will be found a good substitute tor coal. Speaking of teaching the young idea how to shoot what is the matte with that Manitoba school master? O.- H. Coulter marched on Washington as per announcement, but he failed to burn the bridges behind him. Edith Willits should gather a few of fcer stray letters together and compile "A Complete Letter Writer." Wanted: A judge who will step in where supreme court justices fear to tread. Apply to W. H.- Graddock. Perhaps General Young will not fol low the precedent and say that Great Britain has an army better than the United States. Government ownership has never en Joyed a boom as is being given it these days by the failure of extraordinary methods to settle the coal strike. St. Louis juries seem to have small respect for boodlers. Other cities might emulate the example of the Missouri Courts with credit to themselves. If Richard OIney was to make the re marks in Kansas that he ai?l '"at the Democratic club" dirrrrer-TrWten, ths rumor would at once be started that he was about to floa. Isn't it about time that Gen. J. W. F Hughes of Kansas and Gen. Jamts Hamilton Lewis of Washington step in with their gold braid and snickersnees and stop the coal strike? There would be one advantage In a consolidation of the Washburn and Medic football teams. There would be only half so many appalling defeats recorded against the fair name of To peka. u Rev. F. W. Emerson' -says' Tie has figured out just what he would do if he should be elected governor, but he won't tell what it is. However, Mr. Emerson candidly admits that he won't be elect ad governor. One of the gravest problems which threatens to confront the city council of Topeka is how to make the people of Topeka stop laying pavements. It i not often that a city tries to progress too fast. The bad bov who got arrested for (stealing apples isn't in it as a social lion among his fellows with the twenty eight young men and tvqmen Who were caught in the act of giving a dance in one of the Washburn college buildings. The coal strike in Pennsylvania is vir tually between the coal miners and the operators who are Wall street financiers. Ioes it not seem a little strange. then that Secretary of the Treasury Shaw is furnishing Wall street with money to tide over an impending crisis, and Pres ident Roosevelt is showing the public that the miners have his sympathy? JAYHAWKEK JOTS. Phillipsburg is to have electric lights. Sock socials are the rage at Sylvan Grove. They still have "la grippe" in Phillips county. The first ping pong set has reached Long Island. Dodge City claims to have the swiftest bicycle rider in the state. The reigning attractions at Lyons are bowling and basket ball. An aggressive little Lincoln county Eettlement is knOvvn as liullsfoot. A 17- pound beet is the result of a Phillipsburg woman's careful garden ins. Clyde girls candidly admit the dia mond rings they wear are gifts of their parents. A I.os'an man laments because there are no -oints in town and it's 125 feet to water. The Strawberry dancing club of West moreland is bloorr.ins out with the ap proach of winter. A Rlaine merchant was slightly sur prised tn find an ordered car of sait filled with wheat. A Moodyville citizen has taken from his beehives this season 2,000 pounds of honey without a sting. It seems natural that a Sleepy Hollow, Ford county, resident should never have seen a game of baseball. Lyons Deople were so hungry for amusement that over 150 went to Hutch inson to see Buffalo Bill. Ten years ago the postoffice window at Rush Center was broken. It was re placed by a new one this week. The first horseless carriage to reach Rush Center passed through this week. It was a buggy drawn by a cow. They are not worrying aver the coal i question down in DoniDhan county. They will know how to keep warm as ion.tr as the aprle jack holds out. Out of a little rool which the high water left in a Clyde man's yard a l." pound buffalo fish was captured. The Hon. James Snoddy's mild boom for U. S. senator seems to have a sort of "srarlet rash eflect" In Copeland county. The Rev. Mr. Emerson thinks he Is com ins to life acain. But others doubt the 5i-ol gentleman being authority on political resurrection. The regulars have very sensibly de clined a debate with the independents in -Shawnee county. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Lucas never were strong in their callioping department. GLOBE SIGHTS. rFrom the Atchison Globe. The only thing you can get out of some men is a chew of tobacco. A man mnkeS n living hi- Tnorn.s nf tile trade or calling, and hopes for "success" liner on. There are a irnoii mnnv i.nnnrtnnitia tn this world to act foolish, talk too much, anil get into trouble. Kver notice th;it hove Tipi'fir lit tin nn to a bulldog's tail? A bulldog won't stand sucn foolishness. There is something the matter with a man who doesn't hate a woman suffragist: ne a cackle, if he had a chance. A Verv common rnmnbiiit nf tno u-nmon is that their girls are "always in thedishes ana tnen tney don t get them clean." We don't know what it means, but the women say that there is a eirl visiting in town who has seventeen gores in her dresa skirt. When a woman customer in n shoe stnrp refuses to try oh her new shoes in the store the clerk has a suspicion that she is not prepared. When the storms keen neotile awav from a church social, the woman who got it up reels she has just ground for doubling other folks' religion. Usually the opportunities that come to a man are those that knock on his do on a cold morning, and he has to go out in nts bare feet and coax in. When a woman does all the work for a large family, it must seem to her that she has to clear off the breakfast, dishes in order to put the dinner dishes on. We met a country man on the streets today who said: "I wanted to renew my subscription today, but the old lady has tne money, and I can t find her. The members of a certain Atchison fam ily gad so much that it is suggested that they could save money bv shuttinc up their kitchen, and buying meal tickets. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Most aristocrats are victims of inverted heredity. Worry is the interest mankind pays on the debt of nature." Women are not very sick when they can see through each other. If wishes were sawhorses beggars woidd have nothing to wish for. Some men are as ready to do an injury as they are to apologize for it. Fame is not a bubble. The h.urel wreath is less strenuous than a ban el-hoop. Ambition never grows old: in fact it sel dom gets beyond the age of indiscretion. Did it ever occur to you tlut the aver age man's intelligence is below the aver age? Paradoxical though it may scent, tlv.' right tnd of a check to indorse is the left end. EDITORIAL COMMENT-- Where the Responsibility Lies. New York American: Upon the coal trust rests the moral responsibility for this strike and all its consequences. Lefore the strike began the miners of fered to arbitrate. An every day dur ing the five months that the strike has lasted the miners huve be l'ii willing to submit the ouestio'.i of their cause to impartial judges. That is what the miners an lei to the Civic Federation last May. That, is what the miners said to President Roosevelt last week. And what has been the position of the coal trust? It rebuffed with contempt and anger the mediating advances of the Civic Federation, telling tl-'t body it would tolerate no outcide interference. It defied and insulted to his face the president of the United States when, acting as a peacemaker, he besought it to make concessions. It rejected with haughty scorn tl proposal of -lohn Mitchell thjt the miners return to work immediately with arbitrators, to be ap pointed by President Roosevelt, passed upon all questions at issue between themselves and their employers. This offer of Mitchell's made to the coal trust before the president was in the same spirit exactly as his offer made in June. He said then: "We repeat our proposition to arbi trate all ciuestions in dispute, and if our premises are wrong, if our position is untenable, if our demands cannot be sustained by facts and figures, we will again return to the mines, take up our tools of industry and await the day when we shall have a more righteous cause to claim the approval of tne American people." "No arbitration: no terms but uncon ditional surrender," was the response of the coal trust in June. "No arbitration. Give us more troops," was the response of the coal trust in Oc tober to the pleading president of the United States. Ami because the millionaires of the coal trust refuse to arbitrate, because they acknowledge no obligation to the public, because they are stubborn, ar rogant and immovable in their resolu tion to destrov the miners' union, re gardless of right, ree-ardless of the loss and suffering inflicted upon the com munity, regardless of the threatening horrors of a winter fuel famine, -'resident Roosevelt does what? He asks the miners to yield to the coal trust, to sui render all the.y ha e been fighting for through five long months, and console themselves with his promise of an investigating commission and bis good word to congress in their behalf! These men, numbering 140,000. are ALL THIS WE.EK AT MRS. ETTA LACEY'S 104 East 6th Street. PAY DAY SPECIALS IN Millinery very poor. Amid privations which the well-to-do hardly realize they are bat tling to secure for themselves and fami lies conditions of life a little better than those to which their millionaire masters had ground them down. They struck because tV.e coal trust would neither grant those improved conditions nor arbitrate. They continue on strike because the coal trust will not arbitrate because it will do nothing except to demand from the miners unconditional surrender. The public has been and is being sub jected to great inconvenience and heavy money loss by this strike. The life ot the community is profoundly disturbed, and in all serious minds there Is dread of what may come when winter de scends upon us and there is no fire in the stove of desperate poverty. Put the public's inconvenience and losses in the present and its apprehen sion for the near future do not absolve it from the duty of discriminating when placing the blame. It is the miners who asked for arbi tration before thev struck. It is the miners who still ask for arbitration and, as fair men and good citizens, want peace and stand ready to submit to the judgment of a disinterested tribunal. It is the coal trust that has compelled war from the beginning, that has pre ferred war to arbitration and that in sists on war to the end. The moral responsibility for the strike and all its direful consequences, past and to come, therefore rests upon the coal trust upon the few rich men that monopolize a prime necessary of life and in their narrow selfishness and blind pride of possession and power in solently deny that either the miners or the American people have any rights whic h they are bound to respect. To Prevent Strikes. Philadelphia Record: Until the mines are in operation and coal trains on the way to the markets the merits of the contention between operators and miners will not be calmly discussed. The immediate distresses of consumers monopolize the public thought. Put the suggestions of practical men ought not to go unheeded. Mr. Hewitt'3 proposition that disputed Questions should be settled between local unions and local operators has in it all the ele ments of fairness. Mr. Baer's proposi tion goes a step further in naming the Judges pf the courts as arbitrators whose decision, iu case of non-agreement, should le binding on both parties. Labor Commissioner Carrill D. Wright in his report to tl'.e president recom mended that the miners in the anthra cite rerjinn form an independent union, making it by incorporation financially responsible for its agreements, and thus putting it into a position to enter into binding contracts with the mine owners. Then a joint committee should be formed to investigate grievances anj arrive at remedies by mutual agree ment. After the depiorable Homestead lockout this remedy was strongly ad vocated by Hon. Chauneey F. Rlack. He proposed that labor organizations should be chartered by the state and reiUiied by the lerms efthe charter to devote a certain percentage of earnings ti a fund insuring responsibility for the fulfillment of contracts, the fund to be used for no other purpose. The duty of the slate is not limited to the suppression of mobs. There is 't higher :uty in taking such steps as will prevent disorder. Are These Men Mad P New York Sun: The coal operators have refused to concede to political intimidation what tliy denied to vjulence and outrage. How is Senator l'enrose fallen from his hiffh estate that he appears here as the truculent accomplice ot rioters and law bre.-ikers! Has the governor of thM sovereign state of New York lost his senses that he seeks to force the com pounding of a felony which strikes not at property, not at the individual, but at the very vitals of government, the constiU'.tim itself? In this there is involved no party, no jeopardy of some one's election to of fice, no question of coal to burn, but the welfare of the nation, the stability of the while p vlitical and social structure. Are Senators Quay and Penrose de void of all sense of American patriot ism: can iney see no turiner tnan tne boundaries of their petty and despicable pontics? Are they not aware that t 1 vueoeed in their present endeavor is to court destruction, to pull the piilars out from under the temple and to in volve themselves and the country in one vast fin l irremediable ruin? It is no longer a question shall coal be minei. It is shall the law be defied and submerged utterly; shall riot and blo-dshecl rrevail over it and shall we turn our backs upon the constitution f the United States? FIGHT FOIl A CHILD. Rev. S. M. Sibley Sues to Recover His Little Daughter. A habeas corpus suit was filed in dis trict court today by Judge Joseph Reed, attorney for Rev. S. M. Sibley, of Em poria. The writ is to compel Mrs. E. Bradley to return Rev. Mr. Sibley s little girl. "Dotty," to her father. When the little girl was but an infant, her mother, the wife of Mr. Sibley, d.ed. Mrs. Bradly was given the child to raise as a companion for her own child. Re cently Mr. Sibley has remarried, and at tempted to get his child, but Mrs. Bradley refused to give her up. The case was tried in the Shawnee coun ty probate court about two wrecks ago, and Judge Fagan decided that the little girl, who is now about 32 years of age, had lived with Mrs. Bradley so long that she had become attached to her foster mother, and should not be taken away. The habeas corpus is the result. Mrs. Braelley refused to give up the child on the grounds that she had not been reimbursed for her care and education. FIFTY MEN WANTED. Corn Fodder Will Go to Wasta If They Are Not Found. "I "wish you would tell me where I can get 0 men to cut corn." said T. R. Gerow, director of tha state free em ployment agency, today.

FUNSTONJS HERE Hero of the War in the Philip pines in Topeka. Has Special Praise for Militia at Fort Kiley. Brigadier General Frederick Funston arrived in Topeka this morning for a short visit with C. S, Gled, at his none in Potwin. General Funston "b accom panied by his wife and child. They are on their way to Denver where General Funston will resume his duties In com mand of the department of Colorado. This is General Funston's first visit to Topeka since he was here three years ago as the hero of the ceremonies at teneling the mustering out of the Twen tieth Kansas regiment. He is tho same :t looks as when he was last here but he is many pounds stouter than when he made his visit to Topeka to lecture after having been wounded while light ing with the Cubans. "I am returning to Denver after a ten days' leave," said General Funston. "After attending the military maneuv ers at Fort Riley I visited with my par ents at Carlyle, near Iola. The ma neuvers at Fort Riley were very usefui and successful, except that the weather was bad. The maneuvers did not make much of a spectacle for sightseers it was all work. The army officers praised the Kansas militia regiments. General Bates praised them highly. The Colo rado and Kansas regiments were there for work. The officers noticed that. There was no horse play, as may some times be seen among militia 'regiments. The national guard there took as good care of themselves as the regulars, and when they broke camp General Bates said they left the ground in better shaiie than it was when they went into camp. The militia men acted as if they knew what to do and they did it." When asked about bis station in Den ver General Funston said: "I am very much pleased with Denver and with tho work. It is very agreeable. There are three states and two territories in ih department and 3,500 men distributed among ten army posts." General Funston's attention was called to the fact that his picture has recently been used in connection with an advertise ment for a hat. t "Yes, I have seen it," he said. "But who is under the hat? It is someone with a VanDyke heard but I have never worn one of the hats." MRS. CATT ARRIVES. National President of Suffra gists Is Here. The annual meeting of the State Equal Suffrage association in Topeka to day and tomorrow is responsible tor the presence in town of a number of shin ing lights of the cause of woman. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New Y'ork, who addresses the convention this after noon in Representative hall and Wednes day night at the auditorium, is the guest of Mrs. J. J. O'Kourke at the Hotel Throop. Mrs. Catt has been a friend of the O'Rouke family for many years and they asked the irivilege of entertaining her during her Stay in To peka. A'" It is never s-afe to guesa at a woman's age and a mrrrs! oourteous s well as a franker method would be' to ask it, but Mrs. Catt looks as though siie. might be between 3D and 40. She has blue gray eyes of an uncommonly calm and serene expression and soft brown hair and a fair smooth skin. She isn't what you would call a living fashion plate but she dresses neatly and becomingly, although her general ap pearance suggests that she "regards comfort more than style, which fre iiuently happens after a woman has passed CO even if she isn't a suffragist and interested in Movements. Mrs. Catt wore today a jacket suit of dark blue fieeked with white, a silk shirtwaist of dark blue stitched in white with a touch of pale blue chiffon in the stock match ing the ;iale blue trimming; of a dark blue hat. She is a western woman, hav ing been born and brought up in Iowa but she talks like a New Yorker. Not verv much is heard about Mr. Carrie Chumian Catt, but nevertheless he is not a myth. His name is George V. Catt, and he is president of the At lantic, Gulf and Pacilic Engineering company, with offices in New York, where they live m a home cif their own, which is a favorite rendezvous for the suffragists of the country. Mr. Catt is entirely in sympathy with his wife's views on the suffrage question, and while he does not devote his time to the cause lends it such assistance as he can. They have no children. "You must ask me about the progress of the work," said Mrs. Catt winningly. "because I want to tell you of two great forward steps which have been made dur ing the past year, not in this country, but abroad. Norway in 1901 gave universal municipal suffrage to the men, removing the propertv qualification and to the wo men under the sane conditions as the men had enjoyed it. that is with a 'small' prop erty qualification. This includes the school franchise. In Australia last year the fed eral parliament which corresponds for the unitetl provinces to our congress extended the suffrage to all women and gave them the right to sit in parliament. This is recognition from the highest source which the cause of equal suffrage has yet re ceived and is the most encouraging recent event in the movement." 31 AN AO EH FOR GULF LIN E. H. D.

The Arch Support j OF 44 j""" orothy THE FATAL SPOT. TN everybody's foot there is one weak spot. The toes are strong, the ball of the foot is firm, the heel is unyielding, but the ARCH of the foot, under the instep, is a weak place. Being arched it is wholly unsupported; being weak, it is the one place that gets tired. But all the same it's the mus cle by which you walk. You stretch it at every step. It is the one part of the foot that needs to be helped. The "DOROTHY DODD" shoe supports the arch of the foot by a special curved shank bstween the inner and outer soles; this shank exactly follows the arch of the foot. It holds its shape and supports the foot. You can walk twice as far without fatigue. Just try on a pair. They 1 X T itliews Ma 1 GRISHAFil BRINGS SUIT. T. H.

HERBERT IS PRESENTED New British Ambassador Is de ceived by Koosevelt. Washington, Oct. 14. According- to an appointment made Saturday Sir Mi chael Herbert, the ii-v ISritish amlias Eadjr, whs ;iresented to the uiesidenc Holiday by Secretary Hay. The presen tation took place at what is called the "temporary White House" on .laeksou place, and this was probably the lirst occasion since the White Houpc has been occupied as the presidential man sion that the credentials ot an ambassa dor or minister have been received out side of its doors. Instead of calling at the state depart ment lirst, which is the usual custom the ambassador proceeded directly to the temporary White House with the full staff of the embassy, in their diplo matic uniforms. Secretary Hny, meet ing him at lids point, presentrd him to 3-resi.1ent Roosevelt in the parlor on the second floor of the l'.ousf. The presen tation was made in the usual form with the important exception tnat the presi dent though progressing rapidly toward rei ovei y, heeded his pnvsa iaus warn ing and remained seated, rot undtrtak iiiK' to stand on his wounded lew. The cr lemony was brief, consisting in the presentation of the new- ambassador by Secretary Hay, the d- livery by the am bassador of his credentials and a fetici tious address by the ambassador ex pressive of the Pleasure, it save him to return to Washington, and an appropri ate response from the president. That w as all of I he ceremony and w hen it was over Sir Michael, who is a long time friend of the president, their acquaint ance dating back more than ten v--ais, accepted -Mr Roosevelt's invitation to be stated, and the two had a long per sonal chat. The new ambassador will take rank next after Sienor .Mayor IVs I.a;ich"S, the Italian ambassador. .The foreign embassies here rank in this order: Uermary, Russia, Mexico, Italy, and Great Uritain with Austria-Hungary next, as Mr. HenKclmuller probably w ill present his credentials as ambassador before the new representative from IfTance arrives and is presented. The speeches exchanged were as fol lows "Mr. President: I have the honor to place in your hands a letter from ths king, my august sovereign, accredii iu--c me .-is his ambassador to the United States of Ameri'-a. "In conferring this high mission to me his majesty has charged me to main tain and strengthen the good relations which happily exist between Oteat Brit Bin and the lTni1ed States. "Sir. I have long had a profound ad miration for the people and insula.1 mis of the great country over which you so ably preside, and no task could be more congenial to me or more in conformity with my personal sentiments than that of carrying out my sovereign's com mands. "I fully realize the difficulty of plac ing my eminent and deeply lamented predecessor, who strove so "steadfastly and so successfully to draw closer tti' bonds which unite the two countries and whose honesty, integrity and other high qualities gained for him in so marked a maner that respect and con fidence of tiie American people. "But 1 undertake his sucessioa, trust ing in your Indulgence, and no effort shall he wanting on my part to further augment the present friendly feeling between the two great Knglish speaking nations which he did so much to bring about. "in conclusion, sir, allow me to ex press by very sincere wishes for your personal welfare, and for your rapid restoration to health." To this expression President Roosevelt replied: "Ambassador: It affords me sincere gratilication to receive from your hands the U tter whereby your sovereign accredits nu as his ambassador to the Unite,! States and to welcome you in that capaci ty. It is especially u'easing to me that hi:- majesty's choice has fallen upon one w ho, by previous official res.idence in this country is so agreeably known here and who is, moreover, so well fitted by ac quaintance by the workings of our gov ernment and by personal association with our people to carry out his majesty's an nounced wish tiiat the conduct of your mission may contribute to maintain and slrcngthcn the good relations which so leap hive existed between England and th United States." Mr. Herbert replied as follows: "I am happy in turn to assure you of Hie same hish purpose in the parr, of this e-'iuntry, and of our earnest desiro to ad vance in alt attainable ways the good will and rmto.al esteem that mark the inter ceurse of the two nations. "Your tribute to the memory of your la ment, d predecesseir's eminent qualities awake-ns a responsive sentiment among us who have sincerely denloreel his death with a sense of personal loss. It is my earnest hope that you, following in his footsteps, will win in no less measure than he the confidence and regard of the American government and centinue his good work. "Ae-cepting your kindly wishes for my personal welfare, I ask you to convey to iiis majesty the cordial wishes I express in th1 name of this government and of my countrymen, for his majesty's continued health and happiness, and for th.- pros perity of the great nation over which he has been called to rule."

Blackwell. one of the promi nent speakers at the state suffrage; con vention which met in Topeka today, ar rived in the city tViis morning from Lawrence and he will rjieak tonight at representative hall. During his stop here he will be entertained by Dr. De borah Longshore. Mr. Blackwell is one of the great sup porters of the woman's suffrage move ment of the world. English by birth, he came to the United States in an early day with his parents and has been promirently identified with political movements for many years. His first political connection was with the Free Soil party. A joint meeting of the "Know-Nothings" and the Free-Soilers was held in Cincinnati to try to make a coalition. The meeting was stormy and the effort for union seemed about te fail, when Mr. lliackwell got the floor and made on eleieiuent speech that carrieel the audi ence away and accomplished the fusion. The coalition then effected sent from Cincinnati to Columbus the delegation that made Salmon P. Chase governor of Ohio the position from which he after wards rose to be chief justice of the Fr.ited States. In the same year Mi. Blackwell made his first speech for woman suffrage, at a great convention in Cleveland, O. The Abolitionistts clsimeel that salve holders had no right to take their slaves through the free states; that, if a Slavs was voluntarily brought by his master upon free soil, he became free. In 1S54, notice having been sent to an anti slavery convention that a family of southerners were about to pass through Ohio, having with them a little slave gill, a party of hot-blooded young Abo litionists detemined to make a test case. They boarded the train at Salem, and tcrk the little girl off it by force. Mr. Blackwell happpened to be the one whei caught up the child, and he was recog nized by accjuaintances on the train. The affair made much stir, and a re ward of $10,000 was offered for his head, at a public meeting in Memphis, Tenn. In May, 1855, he married Miss Lucy Stone after a long and arduous courtship the Mauna Loa, in the gale on Lake Superior yesterday afternoon. The crew were all re'scueti by the steamer Ande which reached here early today. The whaleback went down in deep water and is a total loss. When thirty miles west northwest of Whitelish Point, the tow line fiom the Mauna Loa to the barge parted and the barge was tent adrift in the,, sea. While trying to pick up the barc-e the steamer crashed into it, thee steamer's port anchor going through, the. ,siele of the whaleback. .It wan siion' sen that the barge could net keep attoat and the crew was safely transferred te the steamer. Fifteen minutes later the whaleback sank in 125 feet of water.- The lost barge was valued at $60,000. she had on board some 2,300 tons, of ore worth $10,000 more. PICTURES OF JOINTS. They Will Be Shown at Audi torium Friday Evening. The Intlependents will have an illus trated steropticon lecture at the audi toiium Friday evening of this week. Nearly fifty interior views of the jeintft anei gambling houses of the city will be thrown on an immense canvas. It is said that a numbe r ef well known faces will appear in the views. These view? are from pictures taken from actual life by Rev. J. M. Jae-kson, pastor of the Fue.did avenue M. E. church. Photeig raphers say that to make time expe sures of the interior of joints and gam bling houses while the occupants were ignorant of what was beinfr done is a most remarkable feat in photography. The lecture w ill explain iiow this was done. Master Harold Parr will sing a new semg anel there will be two or three rive to ten minute speeches.

MR. BLACKWELL HERE. Yeteran Suffragist Arrives Topeka Today. in Henry B. Blackwell, editor of tfie Wo man's Journal, Boston, Mass., arrived from Lawrence where he spoke Monday afternoon before the sociology class of the State university, and appeared be fore the convention for a short talk. This address was mainly reminiscent in its nature, reminding his auditors of former visits to Kansas, and especially calling attention to local changes. Notwithstanding advanced years Mr. Blackwell is still vigorous in mind and body. To a reporter this afternoon he spoke of the early days In Kansas, and of the former associations which he had had with prominent men of the state. "I have,' said he, "a greater interest it. Kansas than anv ether state. When I was here in 1S67 1 am sure we could have swung the state to woman's suf frage had it not been for the entangle ments which had arisen through the free state struggle. At that time there were the two factions of Governor Rob inson and Jim Lane and we did not ac complish it." Mr. Blackwell was dis tantly related to Governor Robinson. His speech this evening will be upon "Reminiscences of Woman's Suffrage" and he will also make some remarks upon the merits of the subject. "I wish you would Slake it plain." he explain ed, "that I want to touch upon the need we have of women in politics, the power they lend to helping solve this question of capital and-labor." On revision of constitution a commit tee composed of Mrs. W. A. Johnston, Mrs. Charles Smith of. Stockton and Mrs. Lilla D. Monroe reported favor ably and in the same recommended the parts of the constitution which they considered should be revised. The most important change was that in which members living in localities where it was impossible to maintain an organi zation were excluded from membership In the association. The reason for this was that a lare number of women would be enrolled who could in no way helD the associa tion by their membership. It was also provided that another auditor should be elected, making two instead of one. Mrs. Lilla Day Monroe of this city, treasurer, read her report at length, before the session adjourned to lunch. It showed the total membership to be 404. This she explained should be much greater, but on account of those who desired to become members not having complied with the rules of the bo!v In the atter of payment of dues she was obliged to omit many of such in her report. The total receipts for the year were shown to be $507.02: total disbursements, $560.48. loiter, sufficient funds came in to leave the deficit only about $25. Club reports were taken up at the afternoon meeting. The Kingman club which holds the banner in the matter of membership, its rolls showing 104, came first. Then came Cowley county, and at various times throughout the con vention the other clubs of the state will be heard. ESCAPES THE MOB. Sheriff and Negro Charged With lleyolting Crime Get Away. Nacogdoches. Tex.. Oct. 14. The sher iff having in charge Jim Buchanan, the negro accused of assaulting and killing Duncan Hicks, wife and daughter. escaped fiom the mob lute last night and disappeared. They boarded a train at Teneha and started for this city, but left the train and made a detour, a3 another mob awaited tnem at Timnsou. They are supposed now to be in the woods in Shelbv county. A new mob left San Augustine at midnight. The whole country is aroused. It is hardly possible to get the negro out of the country now unless the gov ernor orders troops to protect him. Buchanan was arrested charged with the murder of Duncan Hicks, wife and daughter. Sheriff Rpradiey and his pris oner and the sheriff's posse were last night surrounded at Tenaha, where the streets were full of men. According to his confession the negro subjected Miss Hicks to indignities and killed her with a target rifle barrel, after beating her into insensibility. He drove the end of the barrel into her head through one of her eyes. There is an expressed de termination to burn the prisoner if he can be secured. Sheriff Spradley tried to get a mes senger through to the governor telling him of the situation and asking for troops, but the messenger was intercept ed. The mob at a late hour last night tried to persuade the sheriff to surren der his prisoner without bloodshed, but he refused to do so. TEMPERANCE RALLY. Series of Meetings Now Being Held in Shawnee County. Preparation will be made for a large attendance at the next annual conven tion of the Kansas State Temperance union which has been announced for Topeka February 10 and 11, 1903. The legislature will at that time be in ses sion, special railroad rates will be se cured, an attractive programme will be arranged, and the co-operation of the leading temperance workers of the state will be secured, all of which will help to attract people to the gathering. The union is at present giving partic ular attention to the distribution of the new edition of T. E. SteDhens' "Prohi bition in Kansas," of which, before leav ing the press, it purchased 5,000 conies, or nearly the whole edition. The book is meeting with unqualified approval throughout the state. The union is now devoting four weeks to education and evangelistic meetings in Shawnee county. Dover and Ross ville have already had a week's meet ing each, Tecumseh is the point of at tack this week, and North Topeka will be reached next week, the meetings there to be held in the Kansas Avenue M. E. church. The meetings are non partisan. possonedtheTbaby. Young Farmer, Near Oxford, Given Penitentiary Sentence. Wellington, Kan., Oct. 14. Henry Low. ery, a young farmer living near Oxford, who was found guilty three weeks ago of the murder of his wife's infr.-it son by administering morphine, was sentenced to day to ten years in the penitentiary. It hail been the intention of Lowery's attor neys to prepare a record of his case tor appeal, but today when he learned how much this would cost, he. refused to fur nish the money. "I v.'ill go to the penitentiary rather," he said. The county attorney will now bring Mrs. Lowery to trial for complicity. Sh" was jointly charged with the murder of the infant which was born two months after their marriage and her bondsmen surrendered her today. A THRILLING FEAT. Girls Climb Piro Escape and Tear Down Banner. Chicago, Oct. 14. Three co-eds at Northwestern university climbed th fire escape to the roof of a five story dormitory building this morning, walk ed along the edge of the roof for a dis tance of twenty feet, and took down a freshman banner that had been planted there in the night by the boys. Two hundred students and a !iundrQd or more citizens r-fEvunston who stooo. on the sidewalk to see the conflict of the classes shuddered when they taw th2 girls step from the fire escape to tho roof, and a cheer was given when they walked down safely with the green ban ner in their hanrls. An hour earlier another co-ed whe was stranded on the roof of Sheridan cottage, a four story building, when op posing classmen took away a ladder by which she hid ascended from the bal cony, slid down a rope which she car ried with her as a precautionary measure.

Says Board of Charities Has Favored Kansas in Purchases. "So far as I know the state board of charities has never made but two pur chases outside of the state," said H. J. Allen, chairman of the board, in speaking of the recent action of the Topeka Com mercial club censuring the board for mak ing such purchases contrary to the direc tions of a resolution passed by the legis lature. "In those two instances," Mr. Allen con tinued, "the board was more than justified In taking the action it did, and besides it was in accordance with the directions of the resolution referred, which directed us to purchase supplies for the state institu tions within the state, all things being equal, in other words. to give Kansas busi ness men the advantage when their bids are as good as others. "One instance when we went Outside the state was when we had a new building to furnish with furniture at the Osawatomle asylum. It was a big bill and we went direct to the furniture factories for prices ,and finally bought the bill from Aber nathy at Kansas City. We found we could save tha state a lot of money by doing that and whether or not it was within the state never occurred to us. In fact, come to think of it, I am not sure but what Abernathy's Kansas City factory Is on the Kansas Fide after all. "The other instance was when we had some lumber to buy. We had been buying of a Kansas firm but suspected that we were paying too big a price. We made an investigation and found we could get a better grade of the same kind of lumber from a Kansas City firm for ?S less a thousand, and I think we were justified in saving that amount for the state. "I have been trying to find out who has been making this complaint." continued Mr. Allen. "The Topeka merchants gen erally get the big end of all contracts we let and they nearly always express them selves as well pleased over the way the letting is done. Ask the Parkhur.n-Davis company about it, or Mills, or the Sey mour company, or nearly any firm which makes bids here. We buy things which must come from out of the state, but we always buy of Kansas business men. Take shoes, for instance. We have to buy great quantities of shoes, but the contract is always given to some Kansas firm who acts as agent for an outside factory and makes a profit on the business.".. SPENCER IS AFRAID. City Attorney Thinks Water works Proposition Is Weak. Attend D. of H. dance Wednesday, Oct. 15th. Lincoln Post hall. City Attorney Spencer thinks that the unexpected difficulty In regard to draw ing up the petitions for the waterworks bond election may have a tendency to defeat t-e bonds. "If the city could say," said Mr. Spen cer this morning, "that here we have an offer of the water company to take $620, 0C0 for the plant, it would be a clear and definite proposition. "But the situation is just this: Presi dent Street says positively that the first mortgage bonds, amounting to $270,000, must be assumed by the city. The bondholders will not give them "Up. These bonds draw 5 per cent. I don't know when they expire, but I under stand that they are in two lots, cne of $240,000 -and one of $30,000. The city ex pected to sell its $620,000 in bends for 4 per cent., but if we h ive to make our he nds only S350.0O0 in amount, and sec ond mortgage bonds at thai, it may make it difficult to dispose oi them at 4 per cent. We would besides that have that extra 1 per cent, to pay on the old first mortgage bonds. which would amount to $2,700 a year for probably ten or fifteen years. "All these conditions are likelv to in fluence tiie voter to vote against the bonds. He will think thit he is paying more than he agreed to pay. "I am now waitimr for more detailed information from Npw "Vork concern ing th? nature of that issue of first mortgarre bonds. I den't see how we can draw up the petitions for the bond election until we know exactUr where we are at, and can draw our petition legally." Do Not Believe in a HelL Schenectady, N. T.. Oct. 14. The an nual conference of the German Geme inde, a religious denomination whose creed does not include belief in the trinity nor in a hell, was commenced in this city last evening.

Wall Street.New York, Oct. 14 STOCKS The announcement of the coal operators that they would submit the question at is sue with the miners to a board of arbitra tion created an optimistic feeling in Wall street this morning which was reflected in a buoyant st;clv market. Enormous blocks of the various stocks were bought at the opening, causing general advances of a point or two and ranging up to about 3 points in a few instances. The coalers, as a group, did not display any relatively more strength than other stocks, though the buying in them was of larger propor tions than the remainder of the list. Th3 London market showed pronounced strength on buying orders from this side, and foreign houses bought various inter national stocks at the start. In only a-few cases was there any im provement over the opening range in prices and the exceptions were largely in the high priced inactive stocks. Traders who purchased heavily yesterday after noon when rumors were current of an imminent settlement of the coal strike, were ready to take their profits on the opening bulge and fed the general demand freely. Tiie market for a time showed good resistance to this realizing owing to the accumulation of outside orders by the commission houses. When the list devel oped a rather abrupt tendency to yield losses ran from 1 to 2 points in many of the principal stocks, including Ixuisville ami Nashville. Illineis Central. New York Central, Missouri Pacific. Reading, Dela ware and Hudson and St. Paul, the last named falling back to above last night's close. Trading then became much quieter and there was some disposition among th- trading elrrient to await developments in the monev market. The market sagged- slowly on very small offerings until the general advances had been largely reduced to fractions rind wholly wiped out in (ome of the coalers, industrials and transcontinental stocks, while bear traders were inclined to make capital out of the scarcity of buying or ders and put out some short lines in the most active stocks. The coal situation much improved on the developments over night, consideration of the money sltua tion again became prominent owing to the heavy syndicate payments which had to be met during the week. Call money loaned at from 10 to 11 per cent and was in active demand. Toward midday the stock market began to improve and there was a rise to the best by St. Paul, Penn sylvania, Union Pacific and Brooklyln Rapid Transit. The entire list showed im provement, but did not generally recover to the opening level. Great Northern ad vanced 8 coints. The bond market was firm at noon. Fluctuations 'were very narrow during the noon hour and trading was intensely dull. The tone, however, continued strong and some of the leading stocks sold higher than in the forenoon, particularly Penn sylvania and Sugar. The market showed an inclination to yield, but the ceiling was not ample enough to effect much change in prio -s aside from a few inactive properties. A subsequent heavy demand for Amalgama ted Copper lifted it 2 points to 65 and caused a general inquiry for other stocks, St. Paul. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and a few others rising to the highest price of the day. 1 .j. Topeka Market.... Topeka, Oct. 14. HOGS.

That Is' What Grocers Association Proposes to Do. Pelf-protective measures have been planned by tre Topeka, Retail Grocers' association, and at a meeting of that body held in the Commercial club rooms Monday evening those plans were par tially placed under way whereby a gro cers' ratins system is to be established nnil k'"-,r mi-to-date. I!v this scheme it is proposed that delinquent custom ers who lail to pay up their debts may be prevented from running bills at a number of houses. Within a few days a secretary's office will be opened in the Adams building, corner of Seventh and Jackson streets, and Hugh I.awler, secretary of the body, will he in charge. He will furnish the members of the association lists of de linquents, which is to be supplemented all the time by the names of those whom the grocers find are not paying up their debts to the individual. It is bind ing on all the numbers of the body, and the organization includes practically every grocery in the city, that when a customer cannot or will not meet his obligations, the particular house with wl-.lcb he--I dotnpr- -btwim-ss shall refuse liim further credit. Heretofore a similar scheme has been tried, but the matter was not looked after closely and its success seems to have been only partial for that reason. There is no intention on the part of the merchants to work a htrdshi: on any one. It is their belief that times are sufficiently prosperous to warrant their asking early payment by customers. And it is probable that the movement will lead to a greater extension of the cash purchase system than ever has been known in Topeka. In arguing for their movement the grocers say that in many caces a customer falls behind in his accounts and for some reason does not pay. V hen he is reminded of it by the particular firm with which he has been trading he quits doing business with then- and goes to some other place where his credit has not been imparted Throueh the poitip now under way as coon as he refuses the first house this WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY Or At Least Everyone Who Suffers From Catarrh. Catarrh in its various forms is a on tional disease, and the fact that nearly everybody suffers from it more or less leads many to negelect its proper treat ment. Nasal catarrh is a common cause of headaches, destroys sense of smell and It' negelected reaches the throat, caus ing impairment and sometimes total loss of voice. Bronchial catarrh leaas easily to consumption. Catarrh of stom ach and liver are very serious and ob stinate troubles, while it is now gener ally admitted that catarrh is the most common of all causes of deafness. All of the more serious forms of ca tarrh begin with nasal catarrh the local Fymptoms. being a profuse discharge, stoppage of nostrils, irritation and fre quent clearing of the throat, sneezing, coughing and gagging. The old style of treatment with douches, inhalers, snrays. salves, etc., simply give temporary relief and every one who has used any of them knows how useless they are and their incon venience is such that very few have the time or patience to continue their use. A raidcal cure of catarrh can only be obtained from a treatment which re moves the catarrhal taint from the blood because no one will now dispute that cafarrh is a constitutional or blood dis ease, and local applications can have no effect except to temporarily relieve local symptoms. A new remedy which iias been re riiarkably successful in curing catarrh is a pleasant tasting tablet which is taken internally and acts upon the blood and mucous membranes. It is composed of antiseptic remedies like Fed Gum. Blood root and similar ch ansing specifics which eliminate the j catarrhal poison from the system. The 'ablets being pleasant to the taste are dissolved in the mouth and thus reach the throat, trachea and Anal ly the stomach and entire alimentary canal. They are sold by druggists ev erywhere under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablet". If desired, when there is much stop page of the nose, the tablets may be dis solved in warm water and used as a douche in addition to internal use. but a douche is not at all necessary. A few dissolved in the mouth daily will be suf ficient. l)r. Ainslee says: "The regular daily use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets taken internally will cure the whole ca tarrhal trouble without resorting to the inconvenience of a douche or an in haler." They seem to give a healthv tone to the whole mucous membrane and it is really remarkable how soon they will clear the head and throat of the unnat urrl and noifonous catarrhal secretion Ftuait's Catarrh Tablets is undoubt edly the safest, most palatable and cer tainly the most efficient and convenient remedy for any form of catarrh. and Kersey Overcoats in long or 10.00 values, AVENUE. OF POSTOFFICE. will become common knowledge among the other grocers who belong to the as sociation and they will be able thus to know whom they can safely credit. To such a person they will be obliged to refuse to sell goods. Favorable to the purchase of supplies frcm Topeka wholesalers wherever it was possible the following resolution was passed: "Believing that every citizen of To peka, and especially every merchant, should be interested in the unbuilding and growth of the city, and as one of the most effective ways to promote her welfare and growth is by patronizing manufacturers and industries within her own limits, we therefore earnestly recommend to the membership of this association that whenever we can con veniently do so that we handle goods manufactured in Topeka or sold by job bers located in Topeka rather than from institutions located outside of the city or state." The meeting wasJargely attended. HOLD TWO MEETINGS. Independents Continue Their Activity Mr. Stebbins Answers Charges. The Independents had two good meet ings last night. One at Seal school house in Soldier township, and one at the Rock school house in Rossville townshio. T. E. Davis and L. A. Stebbins spoke at the latter place. Mr. Davis explained the new kind of ballot and warned all those who wanted to vote for Stahl and Stebbins not to put a cross mark in the circle at the head of the ballot, for by so doing they would invalidate the whole ballot. He said they should mark in the square opposite each name they wished to vote for. He said this was net a question of politics involved in this campaign, but one of good citizen- snip only. His speech was well re ceived. Harold Parr sung his campaign songs, and was received as usual with great applause. L. A. Stebbins was then introduced He spoke for an hour and twenty min utes and held the closest attention of the audience throughout. He was fre quentiy interrupted with hearty ap plause. He covered the whole field of the issues involved in this campaign. He explained the nature of Lucas' nom ination, and pointed out that the cam paign being conducted by the opposition was one of villification and falsifica tion, tie charged that they were cowards and dare not meet the Inde pendents in joint debate. He replied to the charge that he was an atheist by saying that he was and for a long time had been a member of the Unitarian church, and that his views were sub stantially th same as those of the pas tor and members generally of that church. When he closed he was greeted with a pronounced demonstration of ap proval. W. V. Hook was then called for and made a brief talk, giving his reasons for supporting the Independent ticket. J. T. Hopkins presided at the meeting. The house was fu'l. LAKE STEAMER GOES DOWN Ten Members of C. B. Lockwood Crew Missing. Astabula. O.. Oct. 14. The wooden steamer C. B.

The government of Venezuela, owing to the fear that the" revolutionists might make a night attack on Caracas, and In view of the fact that Vice President Vincente Gomez left that city yesterday morning with all the troops available. Sub men, to reinforce President Castro, has been transferred to the "provisional cap ital" of Venezuela, In the Guaxpuro dis trict, surrounding Los Toques, -without any town or village being stipulated as the headquarters of the ministers. Consequently the seat of the government may be in a railroad car or in some other place unknown to the general public. The Venezuelan government was also actuated in this matter by a desire not to reply to the questions of the foreign ministers, who iiave been daily asking for redress as the result of injuries inilicted on the persons or properties of citizens of the countries which they represent. The latest news from La Victoria, where an important engagement began Monday morning between the army of President Castro and the forces commanded by General Matos, Mendoza, Peratoza and Riera, states that President Castro was surrounded by revolutionists and that his position was critical. A VAST MERGER. Electric Plants and Railway of Texas Cities to Combine. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 14. The sale of the Dallas Ice Factory, Light and Power company to a Kansas City man is be lieved to be another move toward the merging of all the electrical plants of this city and many of those In the sur rounding towns and cities of Texas. Al ready a concern known as the Dallas Electrical corporation and chartered in New Jersey with a capital stock of $S, 500,000, is about to have absorbed the Dallas Klectrie Light and Power com pany; the Standard Light and Power company; the P-apid Transit Street Railway company and the Consolidated Street Railway company, with an ulti mate intention of building a network of interurban lines within a radius of 100 miles of Dallas, which district has a population of over a million inhabitants. A Boston concern has acquired sev eral valuable franchises for a metro politan street railway system in Dallas, within the last few months, and has in stalled part of the system Interurban lines are m oocrnram; be tween Dallas and Fort Worth., -a dis tance of 30 miles, and between Denison and Sherman, nine miles. A representative of an Ohio corpora tion which has several hundred miles of electric lines in operation in Ohio, Indl ana and Michigan presented a proposi tion to a meeting ot Sherman business men last ni.Tht for the building of an electric line between Sherman and Waco, via Dallas, to cost $:1.000,000. .It was stated that the projectors had an ultimate object of extending the road to Austin, and the construction of from ten to twenty feed lines of from 20 to 40 miles, to connect with the main line, or Sherman-Austin line. The proposition is being considered by a committee of eleven. j PEACE IN SAM All. General Fred Grant Talks of Philip pine Conditions. San Francisco, Cal.. Oct. It.

Burrton Man Claims He Is Damaged by Libel Charges. Hutchinson, Kan., Oct. 14. W. Ft, Beck ham of Burrton, a hog buyer, has 1 filed suit in the district court for $.T,0i10 dam ages against the Burrton Slat" bank and a fir-n of hog buyers composed of G. M. Shlve, J. W. Comes and Joe Comes. He claims that the bank through its cashier, J. T. Shive, and the hog buyers have libel ed him to that extent, that his business has practically been mined by alleged false reports circulated by them. The chief basis of the suit is a letter alleged to have been written to W. M. Paugh, a live stock commission merchant of Wichita, by J. T. Shive, which states that the bank of which Mr. Shive is cash ier considers that it is risky to do business with Mr. Beckham's checks, that another bank had lost betwe-n $130 and $2,500 in dealing with Beckham, and stating "He now has checks in our hands for collec tion which were drawn on another bank in our town which were not pa d and I presume never will be." The letter then reqxiests Mr. Paugh to cease doing busi ness with Beckham and asks him to do business with the rival firm of hog buy ers composed of G. M. Shive, J. W. Comes and Joe Comes.

Bessie Comfort, the young girl who" was sold when a wee baby to Mrs, Louis Hummel b5' a mid wife for $2 and a canary, is the daugh ter of Mrs. ChriUne Girard, of New- York. Judge Chftraus arrived at his decision today after hearing the stories of the three claimants for the child. Frank Comfort said she was his daughter by a wife who is now dead, but the court regarded his story as improb able and uncorroborated. Just who will gain the custody of the girl is nut yet settled, as Judge Chy.traus does not think either Mrs. Hummel, who adopted Bessie, or Mrs. Girard is the proper per son to care for her. He will decide this matter later. Mis. Girard lived in Houston street, near the Bowery. Mrs. Hummel, who bought the infant, resisted the attempt of Mr. Comfort to replevin her. Bessie is a beautiful girl of nineteen years. SAYS HE WAS ROBBED. An Unknown Man Tells a Peculiar Story.

Sergeant Jenkins neard a man on the street car talking about it yesterday, and niade an investigation. The man who claimed to have been robbed was pointed out to-him and. he skc-d hint sotrc' questions, which ",ie did not answer with any great amount of speed, and rev fused to give his name. He did say that his assailants wtre negroes and that they held hi-n up with a revolver wnile he was crossing a vacant lot in the west end of North Teel-a. Sergeant Jenkins and Detective Lucas sailed out and captured two young ne groes, one of them an ex-bad one of this town, and brought them in. The injured party was again sought out, and after a careful scrutiny of the prisoners he rie cided that they were smaller than the two men who held him un. They had been chosen as the suspects because Chas. Shields, the bad one, has recently returned ff-om Kansas City, where he has been re siding for several years since a brush with the Topeka foliei in which Officer Chas.

Calls Up His Opponent's Missou ri Court Record. Craddock Fails to Answer Any of Bailey's (Questions. People who went to the joint debate between the opposing candidates for gov ernor of Kansas, W. J. Bailey and W. H. Craddock, expecting to near Mr. Craddock flounder around and have dif ficulty in filling his time, as he had at Wichita, were disappointed. Craddock not only filled his time, but he spoke so easily and interested his audience to such an extent that he was frequently interrupted by cheering and received a. tremendous applause when he had con cluded. It is said that he has been un der the tutelage of John Atwood, the "silver-tongued orator" of Leavenworth recently, and portions of his. speech seemed to indicate as much. At any rate he is making rapid improvement as a speaker and the debate last nl?ht was more evenly matched than a good many Kepublicans had expected. As to which speaker "demolished" the other, it depended upon the sympathies of the hearer, the same as at Wichita, and the same as it is in nearly every joint debate. Some argument were clearly answered by each speaker, some were dodged, and no attempt was made to answer others. For instance. Bailey demolished Craddock's argument that the railroads in Missouri are more high ly taxed by the mile than in Kansas by showing that roads of the same grade of earning capacity are taxed higher in Kansas and that the farmers are taxed less in proportion. Craddock's strong po;nt. on the other hand, was that tne railroads are taxed only 10 per cent of their value and that if they were taxed in proportion to other property the total assessed valuation of the state would be doubled and the rate of taxation therefore cut in two. This is the rjoint that is helping Craddock in his cam paign more than any other one thing. Mr. Bailey replied to this by denying the correctness of Craddock's figures. He said that Craddock is taking the total valuation of the entire system which run through Kansas rastep.d of only the portions which lie in :I-Canas. and that they are really assessed. 10 per cent of their total valuations in all states through which they run. It was not a debate in a technical sense. Bailey was supposed to make the argument and Craddock was sup posed to reply. Instead Bailey opened by replying to the arguments which Craddock has been making, and Crad dock then advanced the arguments which Bailey had already answered. Both speeches were largely along the line of those at the Wichita debate a week ago with some new features mix ed in. There were perhaps upwards of 2,500 people present. The auditorium lac ked a -whole lot of being crowded &nd there was only a handful of; the leaders of each side on the stage, on the wall in rear of the stage were the decorations which were prepared for Fresidont Roosevelt's coming. The main feature of the decoration is the immense fla?, about forty feet long, stretched across the wall in sinuous waves, while in each of the stars glistened an electric light. The walls around were covered with vines with autumn colored leaves. The Republicans came first on the stage, and as Mr. Bailey, accomnmied by Captain H. M. Philips, the Republi can chairman of the evening, advanced, he was met by a ripple of applause. After him came State Auditor Cole, Lieutenant Governor Richter, Cyrus Le land, Morton Albaugh, J. R. Burrow, candidate for secretary of state; D. J. Hanna, candidate for lieutenant- gov.. nor; J. C. Postlethwaite. James A. Troutman, J. V. Skinner, John A. Bright and other Republicans. Then came the fusionists led by W. H. Craddock and C. B. Hoffman, chairman for their side.- J. M. Simpson got side tracked when the Republicans came on and got mixed up with the fusionists so that Jie came marching on the stage immediately behind Craddock. Then came F. J. Close, candidate ror lieuten ant governor; Charles McCrum, F,. E. Brown, Frank Thomas, Hugh Farrelly, W. J. Babb. John Curran and others. The debate was preceded by a song by the Wyatt sisters, who sang the "Star Spangled Banner," and responded to an encore with "Old Kentucky Home." While they were singing two colored men came forward carrying an im mense banner with a picture on it. Somebody suggested that it looked like Bob Buggies, but when the audience found that it was meant for a likeness of Bailey they promptly cheered. Then Captfin Philips introduced Mr. Bailey and the scrap was on. MR. BAILEY OPENED. Mr. Bailey began by stating that he did not want anything he should say to be construed as personal, but that he should treat his opponent as one gen tleman should treat another. He re ferred to the handbook prepared by Mr. Craddock and his "Do Right" motto. "It's a joke that the Democratic parti can get any monopoly on doing right." said Mr. Bailey. "The first 'Do night club which I ever joined was when I gained my majority and joined the Re publican party." The argument in the handbook, Mr. Bailey said, is tne same which Mr. Crad dock has been maklnrr all during this campaign, and which he made at Wich ita. "I want to congratulate my hon orable opponent, though, that he is im proving from a rhetorical standpoint." Here Mr. Craddock got up and bowe3. his acknowledgements. Bailey called attention to the fact I oA"7 that while Craddock promises to reduce taxes one-half If he should be elected governor, the governor has- nothing whatever to do. with fixing the rate of taxation in school districts, and that fixed by city councils. "No man who ever really expects to be governor would make such a promise," said Mr. Bailey. "It is-not so much a question of the amount of money assessed as that it be honestly used, and while I have no extreme promises to make Which I can not fulfill, but if elected governor I will use all of my power as the chief ex ecutive of Kansas? to- adiust the bur dens of government on rich and poor alike, and to build up the institutions o Kansasi r Mr. Bailey-then took up the subject of railroad taxation and quoted Mr. Craddock's statement that the Burling ton is assessed $15,000 a mile in Mis souri but only $7,000 a mile in Kansas. "This," said Mr. Bailey, "is literally true if you take the Hannibal St. Joe U. Missouri, which is a great trunk line. How nifjiy of you people know where the Burlington runs in Kansas? It ha four little branch roads one running up from Atchison, another from Con cordia, and two otiers in the extreme northwestern part of the state -roads which can scarcely pay their expenses. These are the lines which Mr; Craddock compares with the great Hannibal St. Joe, a road which runs twenty great trains over its road every day." Mr. Bailey then quoted figures on the taxation of the main line- of the Santa Fe to show that it pays nearly twice R3 much tax per mile in Kansas on the same grade of road as it does in Mis souri. He also cuoted figures to show that the property of farmers is not assessed nearly so high in Kansas as in Missouri, and then drew the deduction that the farmers of Missouri pay two and a half times as much taxes as those, of Kanras. compared to what the rail roads pay. Next Bailey took up the charge made by Craddock that the Republicans do not enforce the old soldier law. the pro hibition law, the gambling law. and other statutes. He said such criticism came with bad grace from a man who turned an old soldier out of an office in Kansas City, Kan., to make room for an ex-convict of the nenitentiary. "I don't know." continued Mr. Bailey, "that it is J3 to the mayor of Kansas City, Kan., w-hat is done in Toneka or I Wichita about prohibition, but it is up to him what is done in Kansas Citv, J Kan. It takes a good deal of nerve for a man to ask the people of Kansas to elect him governor to enforce the laws of the state when he does not enforce them in his own town where he is may or. It is no excuse for him to lay the blame on to the countv attorney. Tou people in Toseka know that with the right kind of a mayor, if his heart is j right, he can enforce the law regardless of Dolitics." This statement brought out the most vigorous anplause of any statement made 1y Mr. Bailey, although he was frequently interrupted by vigorous ap plause. Bailey reiterated part of his Wichita speech, which is Included in his regular campaign speech, touching On national issues, and then submitted to Mr. Crad dock the following questions for him to answer: MR. BAILEY'S QUESTIONS. 1. Are you in favor of free trade and a return to the business and commercial conditions as We had them from 1S93 to 1S07? 2. Are you in favor of the. free and unlimited coinage of the world's silver and thereby jeopardize our business and commercial prosperity? 3. Do vou believe with the Kansas City platform that imperialism is a burning issue and that the ve,ry exist ence of the Republic is threatened thereby? 4.. Are you in favor of withdrawing American sovereigntyrr,Jn., the-, Archipe lago and taking down our flag in the Philippines? 5. Are you in favor of an amendment to the federal constitution giving to congress the power to regulate and con trol by just legislation all trusts and combines? 6. Will you explain how you expect to benefit by excessive railroad assess ment, the school districts, the town ships pnd the counties that have no railroads within their borders? The Bailey applause apparently came frcm all over tl:e horse and seemed to indicate that the audience was largely Republican. When Craddock came for ward the arnlause was not nearly so general but it was more enthusiastic. Mr. Craddock took an oeportunity to reply to Bailey's charge about the ap pointment of the ex-convict early in his speech. He said it was news to him, but he remembered that an ex-convict had once applied to him for a place and that the convict had been pardoned by a Republican governor. MR. CRADDOCK'S REPLY. Taking up Mr. Bailey's comparison of the taxes paid by the Santa Fe in Kan sas and Missouri, Craddock said the comparison was not fair for the reason that much of the Kansas line is a dou ble track while that in Missouri is not. He then stated that the railroads or Kansas are capitalized for S500.000.000 but are assessed at only ?60,220,00O. or about ten cents on tho dollar, while property is assessed at from 30 to 50 per cent of its value. It requires, he as serted, about $14,000,000 to run the state of Kansas each year. The total assessed value at present is about $300,000,000, and rate of taxation is a little less than 5 per cent.- Then he demonstrated this problem in mental athmettc:, Five per cent tax on the preselt valuation would raise fl 5,000,000, one million more than enough to run the state a year. If the railroads were assessed at 50 per cent their value it would add S300.000.000 to the total assessed valuation, making it I600,OC0,v0O. On this amount the rate would have to be onlv 214 per cent to raise ?15,000,000. The assessment of the average citizen would not have been raised at all and he would have to pay only half as big a rate, which would cut his taxes in two. Referring to the proposed tax law which will come before the next legisla ture, Mr. Craddock said: "The present law is all right all you need is an honest enforcement of the law. If the present law-is not right, it is the fault of the Tlepublican party; and if they have not got it right in all the years they -have been in -power, it comes with bad grace for them to ask for another chance at it. "A railroad attorney went to Chairman Farrelly of the Democratic committee some time ago and told him to call his blankety-blank man off.. I.K wouldn't dare to repeat that conversation" in the presence of ladies, but he threatened that if the Democratic candidate for governor did not stop talking railroad taxation the corporations would resort to any means necessary to defeat him. And to nrove that they are trying it I will read this letter which has come into my hands." The letter referred to was written on the letter lead of the Republican state central committee, and referred to the court records which the Rermblicanj have dug up in Missouri asainst Mr. Craddock, in which judgment was ren dered asainst him in favor of a widow whom he was charged with swindling on a trade deal. The letter read as fol lows: "Topeka, Kas., Oct., 4, 1902. "Dear Sir I am sending you a copy of some leaflets we are getting out m re gard to the Democratic candidate for governor andhis record in the courts. "I believe this "matter can be used to good advantage in your paper either editorially or otherwise The people of Kansas certainly ought to be thorough ly informed upon the court record of this wolf in sheep's clothing who has. A WORD TO FARO TOILERS 'S CELERY COMPOUND The Home Friend of the Farmer and His Family in the Autumn Season. After the labors and toils of the sum mer time, and harvesting of crops in the early autumn, many of our farmers, their wives, daushters and sons, find themselves in a condition of health de manding careful attention if suffering is to be avoided later on. Many ex perience kidney trouble in some form; with some the liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea and vomiting, with less of appetite and depression of spirits. Thousands who have been ex posed to cold, damn winds and rains while tolling in the harvest fields, now feel the twinges of terrible rheumatism; others run down by worry, overwork and irregular dieting are tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia. To the thousands of rundown, sickly and half dead men and women in farm homes we recommend with all honesty and confidence the workers' friend, Paine's Celery Compound, the only med icine that can cuiekly and fully restore strength to the weak body and vigor to the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from the blood which cause rheu matism; it feeds the weak and diseased nerves and banishes neuralgic tortures; it purifies the blood and gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's Celery Compound in autumn meansjhe establishing of a perfect physical vigor to w-ithastand the rigors of a severe w:nt5r. atQ.'tfe,-.-. .-k'-aQ J Diamond Dyes J 0 J ness and a pleasing change in what you wear.

I do not think the editors in this state ought to hesitate to remove the sheep's clothing and disclose the. real wolf. If the people understand the character of this blatant demagogue, it will thoroughly discredit him In any matter that he attempts to discuss be fore the people. Surely the people of this state will not take advice from a man of this kind. "Thanking you for what you have al ready done and what you are doing in this campaign, X remain, "lours fraternally, "F. C. RANEY. Secretary." Mr. Craddock held in his hand a small slip on which was written his reply to this letter, and it is this that is ascribed espe cially to John H. Atwood. This reply was as folrows: "O, men of Kansas! is It possible that the brute instinct has so developed among this people of boasted" intelligence th.it horjbr and decency arc at a discount? Has the party in this state who boasts that Lincoln and McKinley are their Ideals sunk to the low plane occupied by the swaggering blackguard and canting hypo crite, whose 'vitiated tastes demand Its disgusting morsels of scandal, vflliflcation and abuse as therpnly palatable iood dur ing a political ca'&naign? is.f'he light of reason and argument ,to, be obteured by the vomit, of uizards who ha;ve been gorged on the carrion of profits arisins from non-enforcement of law, violated oaths -of office and confidence betrayed? Are .you ready to subscribe to the 'mon strous doctrine that the, Intelligent farmer, mechanic, or citizen who dares exercise his Clod-given intelligence and constitu tional right of voting as his conscience dictates Is a bushwhacker? When every intelligent man knows that the Republican party owes its existence to the indepen dent voter Mr Bailey now condemns?" The fusionists, Craddock asserted, do not believe in a campaign of personal abuse. "Our platform. To Do Right." he asserted, "will not admit of the villification of in dividuals." Then he made a defense of his own rec ord as mayor of Kansas City, Kan., say ing that he could give Governor Stanley two points to his one in the appointment of old soldiers to public positions: and the failure to enforce the prohibitory law- in Kansas City was due to the fact that a R( publican city attorney dismissed the cases as soon as they reached the'distrlct court at the expense of the city. "Talk about poor old Missouri!" exclaim ed Craddock. "Who wrote your Republi can state platform? What corporation at torney got in his private car in St. Louis and went down to the Republican state convention at Wichita and demanded as his right to see the Republican platform before it was presented to tho convention, and what parts he did not like he changed to suit hini, and not a Republican paper In the state thought of objecting?" As Craddock closed he was cheered en thusiastically, and the indications wore that the crowd was coming his way, but when Bailey got started in hi3 reply he spoiled Craddock's advantage to a great extent. As Craddock closed, however, a good many people thought that ended the debate and several hundred started out, but took their seats again when Bailey started In on his twenty-minute reply. "The trouble with my honorable oppon ent." said Bailey, "is that he knows so many things which are not so. I hold in my band a list of all the appointees which he has made as mayor of Kansas City, Kan., and on the whole list of over two hundred there are only five old soldiers." "Don't say that. It is not true." cried Craddock amid the applause which came from the Republicans. "If Governor Stanley has laid" himself liable for not observing the old soldier law," continued Bailey, "the mayor of Kansas City. Kan., has laid himself lia. ble .to fifteen punishments. A, man may get up here and pretend to stand on a 'Do Right' platform and disparage personal attacks, but then turns around and makes; personal attacks on his opponents, but it does not sound well when in the court records of Missouri that man stands tried and convicted of wrong doing." The Republicans greeted this with voci ferous applause, while the fusionists cried, "Shame! shame!" Mr. Bailey then proceeded to answer some of Craddock's arguments, saying that his figures for the total value of Kansas railroads do not represent the truth; that he took the total capital of the entire systems running through Kansas instead of only that port'on which would represent the Kansas portion of each road. He also called attention to the fact thai Craddock did not attempt to reply to the questions which Bailey had furnished him. In fact Mr. Craddock did not refer to them in any way except to say -that the debate was to be along state issues and not na tional questions. Corrigan's Horses Reach Chicago. Chicago. Oct. 14. Eir-ht carloads of horses belonging to Edward Corrigan have arrived at the Hawthorne track from California.

Vienna Surgeons Operate on the Li -tie Armour Girl. Chicago, Oct. 14. "Assuredly perfect. Today's operation was very gratifying and Mrs. Armour's little girl will be well. It was a success in all details." Thus spoke Dr. Adolf Lorenz, who came fiom Vienna to treat Lolita Armour, 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O-jden Armour, for congenital dislocation of the right hip joint, after the operation had been performed yesterday at the Ar mour home on Micnigan avenue. The child was given an anaesthetic at 10 o'clock in the morning and within two hours the "Lorenz bloodless operation," as it is called, had been performed and the patient had recovered from her deep artificial sleep to find the lower part of her body inclosed in a plaster cast, which she will wear for six months. Silence prevailed in the Armour house hold whils the surgeons 'wre at work, though there was little danger of any ser ious results upon the life of the patient. In spite of her delicacy she rallied quick ly from the effects of the anaesthetic, and when Drs. Lorenz and Mueller left her for the night in charge of nurses she was in no pain and chatted cheerfully with her mother and father. The "Lorenz bloodless operation" has been performed rarely in this country, and never unt'.l two or three years ago, when several of Professor Lorenz' s pupils in troduced it in New York. Until yesterday it had never b--n performed in Chicago. Tho congenital dislocation was discover ed in Lolita Armour at her birth. The affliction is an abnormal relative position of the fermur, or thigh bone, and the socket in the pelvis. Dr. Lorenz had suc cessfully replaced 1.800 hip bones by use of the knife before he made his bloodless discovery. The heroic method involved grave -danger of blood-poisoning and other perilous complications. It was in ISM that Dr. Lorenz performed a bloodless opera tion, in which blood-poisoning is impossi ble, and since that time he has repeated It with success in hundreds of cases. THEIR TOUR REGIXS. American and National League Ball Players Start West. The picked teams of the National and American leagues which began their tour across the continent to San Francisco and Honolulu, in Chicago yesterday, opened under the most favorable circumstances. The game was closely contested and re sulted in a victory for the National leaguers by a score of 7 to 3. Dona van was in the box lor the Nationals, with Kal-oe behind the bat: while Mercer and Sullivan were the battery for the Ameri cans. One of the largest baseball crowds of the season turned out to see the great players in their inaugural test of strength. From Chicago, the teams will start west ward, playing the principal towns and cities until 'Frisco.is reached, when a stv,p of two w-eelis will be made in order that the Californians may see what kind of ball the big eastern leagues play. The men composing the teams are the highest exponents of the great American game and the games played are bona fide con tests in which the best team wins. Th? character of the management and the in dividual players is such as to guarantee the genuineness of the game. Since it is assured that there will be no faking the followers of the sport all over the country are watching the outcome of the series with great interest. John T. Bush has offered a cup which will be awarded to the team winning the most games at the close of the San Fran cisco engagement. One of the games will be played on Washburn field under local management. The date is October 22 and a spirited contest is expected. Napoleon Laioitf, Diek Cooley, Sullivan. Mercer, Kabce, Donovan.

Washington, Oct. 14. Agent Ander son of the Colville Indian agency in Washington state, has reported to the commissioner of Indian affairs that th-? Spckane Indians, who are comnaratlve ly poor, seem to be in danger of losing a large part of their reservation. The agent says this danger is the result tf the congressional opening of their lands to mineral location and entry after the Indians receive allotments of land in severalty. Owing to the way in which the vari ous piovisions of tbe bill were passed and approved, the reservation was act ually open to mineral location and entry for a short time last May during which vested rights in a large croup of min eral claims were acquired and a de termined effort has been made to wrest the lands from the Indians. $2.67 To Kcnsas City and return, via the Union Pacific, account the America!

Up to the time Sheriff Kittredge took charge of affairs in Nogales county every white official played into the hands of the cow men, and as it was only the Mexican element that went in for sheep and goats the trouble between the fence faction' and the range faction took on all the. characteristics of a race war, in which the "white' herders, as lawless and audacious a' gang as.tver infested the border, had ail the best of it. The Mexicans in and about San Yin cente seemed to be pretty well cowed, but Kittredge may have encouraged them a little by promises of protection and assurances that the law would be enforced. The poor peons were just commencing to rebuild their fences and increase their flocks, when -Tom Daly and about four herders came up from the Sour Bottoms with about 200 "long steers." Fences didn't stop him for a minute. Two of his men rode' in ad vance, brazenly displaying their wire cutters, and when they got to San Vin cente to ship there wasn't a whole fence south of the town. The first night after Daly's gang got in they went down to the Honk-a-Tonk across the railroad tracks, got Into a fight with some Mex icans and killed two.- Well, Kittredge jailed the laly outfit, all except Tom. The leader couldn't be round, and when the case came to trial everybody, in cluding Daly's boys, swore that it was Tom himself who had done the murders. That certainly was the easiest way out of the scrape for the four hird cowboys, and I suppose they took it for granted that as Tom hadn't "stood by" they were justified in saving themselves at his expense. His reputation could stand it, however, and the "greasers" who corroborated the evidence were equally positive. The queer part of the whole matter was that Daly had escaped with out his horse. He never turned up again anywhere so far as the authorities could find out, and the most diligent search failed to show that he had ever left San Vincente after that shindig at the Honk-a-Tonk. Everybody was puzzled, espe cially Kittredge, about what should be done with the stock, or whether Daly had any "people" back East. One fine morning, much to the aston ishment of everybody, 'a big, raw boned, red-faced chap with a black Prince Albert coat and his pants in his boots, got off the train and went look ing for the court house. Once in Kitt redge's little frame office, the new comer promptly announced that he was Ed Daly, "sometimes nicknamed Jump," he said, Tom's older brother, come to San Vincente for the express purpose of pYoseeuting "his brother's murderers." He said that he was a lawyer, had studied law in the state penitentiary, where he had served "an unjust sen tence" for cattle rustling, and" that he meant to "square things up with the hounds that had made away with Tom." Kittredge noticed that the new Daly was well "garrisoned," carried a Win. Chester and had a "mean eye." So he welcomed the stranger to San Vin cente's hospitality ami vaguely warned him that, although the county had been but newly organized, he, Kittredge, had a reputation at stake, and meant to maintain the majesty of the law. F.d Daly got as far into his law prac tice as hanging out a shingle, which he himself painted upon the lid of a soap box. Then he began to swagger about town, an awe-inspiring bully, "looking for evidence" that his brother had been foully dealt with. Not finding any tangible clews and having a weakness for roulette., stud poker and craps, he became a regular at the Twin Republics, the Swan and the Acme, where his bluster soon terrified the Mexicans and discouraged the American gamblers. He "held ut" the Acme dealer one night after losing1 about $90 and took all the money on t!e cloth. Kittredge made a bluff at arresting him for this, but he explained that the dealer had tried to "hurrah" him, and, as the latter made no denial, it was considered "good jus tice" to let Dally go free. Thus encouraged, the "avenger" be gan to brow-beat and terrorize the town, so that Kittredge was afraid to go away for a day at a time for fear Daly would cut loose. Some of the younger set from the Bald Knob ranges began to grow restive under the bully's harsh predominance, but Daly was either too smart or too cowardly to mix things witn ms own countrymen. He killed a Mexican one nisrht as he was ridine home from a dance at Greasy Marv's. but swore that he had been scooting at a Jack rabbit, and as the victim was only a greaser the coroner let it go at that. Put one morning late in August Daily failed to appear at the Twin Re publics for his "morning's morning:." H had "set in" at the faro table till past midnight, and after that nobody could remember having seen him. No freight trains had passed, and to further mvs- tify the community it was found about noon that his horse, saddled and bridled, was grazing out on the Nogales trail about a mile from town. Of course Kittredrre eot Tiusv asain. but h never could find out what har- pened the second of the Dalv brothers. Pete Swinton, who kept a dairy, bought the horse a few months later, and then gave it away because it wouldn't work ir. harness. That is. the horse would work. but had a trick of balking at the same place in the road and standing there till all human effort to drive it on was ex hausted. The horse was a good looker and went pretty well in the saddle, but every time it came to Romero's hut at ire end of Main street, the stubborn beast would stand stock still, nor budsre except when a. fire was built, beneath. and then only got out of danger. Pretty soon nobody in San Vincente would have the Daly horse. Romero, who was a sheep herder, moved away and the miserable horse was left to wander about the old shanty, unfed and un watered till its bones almost stuck through the hide.. Sheriff Kittrpds-p and tbp np-w mar shal, a fellow named Masrruflor ramp riding past one dav and found the old horse stark and stiff right in the middle of .the road. Magruder was a good deal of a tenderfoot, all stuck up on San Vin cente and full of queer ideas about "civic nride." sanitarv nrecantions nnd so forth, so as soon as he got back to the court house he sent Patricio Mira montes and his son to bury the dead norse.

Patricio fetched the coroner and thev dug both the Daly boys out of the same hole in the sand. Kittredge made a strong olav to fix it on Romero, but the old man only grinned and shook his head, and as there was no apparent reason for the noor old chap to murdpr. and as both Tom and Ed had not been robbed, the coroner camp to a "reason or reasons unknown to us" verdict, and the matter was dropped.

As a. corporal in company B, I was drilling five or six farmer boys in the days of '61 when SI Jackson, presented himself for enlistment. Si had been working in a sawmill for years. He was twenty-five years old and as home ly, ungainly and slab sided as if he had been cut out of a swamo elm saw log with a wabbly- saw. His temper was on a car with his looks. It was fitful, erratic and cross grained. Attempts were made to discourage him from signing the muster roll, and, although it was pointed out to him over and over again tnat the union could be saved without his assistance, he obstinately refused to be convinced. He had made up his mind to go to war. and to go in company B, and his name was finally placed on the roll. We had hardly reached cantonment, where we were to be drilled and equipped for the front, when Si developed. Most of the company were watching to see which way he would jump, as he had been alternating between good and bad. The ex-sawyer made up his mind to three or four things, and those things consti tuted a noiicy. He would assist to save the union, but he would take his own way about it; he would drill as little as possible, and he would work not at all; he would obey his superiors rather than be shot, but he would do a heap of dodging and bluffing. When Si Jackson got settled down into his policy, he made a zood deal of trouble for company B. While we were yet in the state service and it was discov ered that he was a human mule, he was escorted out of camp and told to stay out. He appealed to the general and was returned to camp and sworn in with the rest of us. Upon his re fusal to drill he was sent to the guard house, and upon his refusal to work he was reported as insubordinate, and every effort was made to get him to desert. He wouldn't go. however. He was with us when we started for Washington, and he was with us when we pitched our tents at the chain bridge. Then began the struggle between Si Jackson and the United States of America. The United States demanded obedience on the part of "Si. and Si demanded that he be allowed ud Saddle his own canoe as he thought best. Ht was reprimanded, sent to the guard house, bucked and gagged and pun ished in various other ways, but he called the bluff every time. They were ready to court martial him when wt marched away to fight the first battle of Bull Run. but he escaped from ar rest and joined us on the field and was the only man in the regiment to reap any honor. Single handed and alone he captured the only confederate prisoner taken in that fight and marched him back to the Potomac. Our captain tried to make Si believe that he had done his whole duty and could go home with flying colors, but Si wasn't on the go. On the contrary, he was in the. guardhouse again the day after ,turning his prisoner over. It has always been a' mystery to the thousand men of the Fourth infan try how Si Jackson defied the Unitetf States and held his own. In the two years lie was with us he put in nine tenths of his time in the guardhouse. Four different courts martial sat on him and sentenced him to orison, but for some reason the findings were al ways revoked. A hundred different times he was threatened with being drummed out, but the threat was nev er carried into execution. He was ex amined by the surgeons and his dis charge recommended, but he beat them at the game. He was sent into the en emy's country with the hope that he would be captured. but he always 1 squeaked through. He -was -sent wlth the teamsters with the hope that the mules would end his career with their hoofs, but not a foot ever reached him. He'd fight, and fight well, but he would not obey orders. During those two years he never drilled a single time or had a spade in his hand. He never stood entry for an hour, and if he rd mained on picket it was because hfl preferred to. When Si had been defying the Uni ted States for two long vears. he be came discouraged. The load was be coming too heavy for him. There were also rumors to the effect that the next court martial would land him at the Dry Tortugas to drag a ball and chain behind him. Obstinate and mulish as ha.-was. he realized that one man' couldn't hope to beat militaryvdiseipline forever. He hadn't been worsted yet, but it might be a good thing t quit while honors were even. Si Jackson's first decision was to quit and his second to leave the service in a blaze of glory not soon to be forgotten. Those of us who were watching him noticed that he had something on his mind, but were far'from suspecting what a programme he was mapping out. To the west of our camp of 6.000 men was a corral holding 3,000 mules and horses. The fi.OOO men were occupying about 2,800 tents. The guards about the corrals afterward re membered seeing Si hanging about for two or three days, but his dans were not suspected. At the western side of the inclosure were hundreds of bales of hay and bags of oats and corn for use of the animals, and the hot sun had dried the bushes until thev were like tinder. One night Si was ready for his fare well. It was a moonless night, with the wind blowing strong from the west and signs of a storm at hand. He had no goodbys to exchange and very little to pack up. It isn't at all likely that a kind word at the last would have alter ed his plans in the least, but no kind word greeted his ear. On the contrary, the captain, who happened to run across "him, squared off and said: "See here, Si. I've got mightv tired of all this, and I'll give you the straight tip that' if I can't get you out of m company I'll throw up my commission." Si only grunted in reply, and half an hour later he was preparing his sur prise party: He dodged "the guards of the western side of the corral --anil brought up among the hay, and five minutes later a big flame was rising from the bales. It needed but the smell and sight of fire to stir up a panic among the horses and mules. In three or four minutes they were circling around the inclosure in a mad mob, with shouts of alarm from all the guards. Twice the mob tore around the big field, squealing, kicking and neighing, and then it headed for. a spot on the eastern side, and the fence went down with a crash that could be heard a mile away. The fire caught the bushes and followed the horses, and the horses dashed straight upon the camp. A thousand tents were knocked down and a thous and men injured, while two or three hundred animals came to grief. This was only half of Si's plan, however. The fire swept up to the corral fence, and the flying sparks set the first tents on fire. It was like touching fire to pow der. In ten mintes the 6.000 men were tentless," with the great heaps of com missary stores burning, and more than 500 soldiers were singed and blistered in fighting their way through the flames. "There, darn ye, I'm ready to go!" said Si Jackson as he looked down upon the scene of the calamity he had brought about, and he went. Whether he went north, east, south or west no man knows to this day. as he was never heard of after that night. He came, he saw, and he departed, and if Uncle Sam owed him any back pay when he left he was willing to eall pecennts square. Copyrighted. 1903, by C. B Lewis.

It has been reported that the Farm ers' Elevator company at. Haven, Reno county, has been broken up. C. W. Peckham, president of the company, denies the report, it is claimed that the report has been spread with a view to keeping other farmers from building elevators of their own. Mr. Peckham says: "As soon as we bought a site, on which to build an elevator, we were assailed by an injunction suit (brought by the trust). This suit caused many farmers to withhold their support from our venture, just as it was exoected to do by the trust. Our elevator was built, however, regardless of injunction suits, and the suits were afterward fougtit out in the district and supreme courts. "We won on every count in both courts. Our opponents having no grounds whatever for such a suit. These suits cost us more' than $150 cash, besides our time and much trouble and on account of these suits,, our stock was not all sold, and we were compelled to borrow $1,000 for one year to complete payment for our elevator.. This loan was secured by a mortgage on our elevator. At the expiration 0f the year,- it was thought best to extend this loan. "While negotiations were pending, the mortgage was sold to Kansas City parties, who at once sent it to Hutch inson attorneys, with instructions to col lect or foreclose. Our stockholders soon learned of this and promptly placed funds in bank to pay mortgage and in terest. The holders of the mortgage at first refused to release the mortgage. but did afterwards send an imperfect release, which was returnea for correc tion, and so matters stand at present. "We shall pay this debt with the funds on hand for that purpose, ana if neces sary go to court again to clear our property on the records. This in brief is a part of the obstacles thrown in our way by our opponents, who claim to be friends cf the farmers. Many farmers nave neia aloor rrom our movement not wishing to become involved in a lawsuit, but we have received financial aid and good will from farmers who are not stockholders and who live nearer other markets. They say we have indirectly nelned them. "The Farmers Elevator company at Haven is in better condition today tharr it ever was. A e have funds on hand to pay all our indebtedness. The utmost harmony and good will has always pre- vanea in our membership. We are do ing a good business. Our elevator nevi, has been closed, nor will it be while Hs usefulness is so apparent to all our farmers. Our elevator is operated under a lease at present wnieo can be termi nated at any time, but-the present ar rangement is verv satisfactory 11 "Our opponents predicted that we would be two years in getting started, and have predicted our downfall, and to this ther have contributed in every conceivable way. They have paid two to ten cents more for grain at Haven than they pay at markets ntteen miles away on the same railroad They pay more for grain at Haven than they sell it for. Our farmers can stand this forever. Under such circumstances could our stockholders expect -dividends? "Instead of a dividend we at one time had a deficit, which was cheerfully1 met by the stockholders, assisted materially by non-stockholders. Each one being a producer and seller of grain, readily saw that he could well afford to help pay our running expenses. A farmer who is an extensive grain grower told me yesterday that he would invest $500 in addition to what stock he has, rather than do without our elevator. "After carefully estimating the amount of grain handled at Haven and adjacent markets, I assure you that the. farmers within ten 'miles of Haven have realized at least $10,000 more for their grain durin the last eighteen months than they would have obtained under conditions existing before we built our elevator. In fact, our elevator fills a long felt want and is here to stay." American Dead in Italy. New York, Oct. 14. Chief Engineer Henry Schuyler Ross, U. S. N., who was retired three years ago, is dead at the Italian hospital in this city, say3 a dis patch to the Herald from Lugano, Italy.

The transport Sherman which arrived at San Francisco last Thursday report ed that she had seven cases of cholera since leaving Manila.

The average man is so busily engaged in the labor of money mamng tnat ne nas ntue time and less inclination for books which instruct: hence when he feels out of sorts, either ne gives no- need to Nature s warning, or ne consults a pnysician. at an ex pense which a little knowledge would have enabled him to-a"void. There is probably no complaint upon which the public is so little informed, as hemor rhoids, or piles: this little book tells all about their nature, cause and cure; it treats of the different forms of blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, describes their symptoms, and points the way to a cure so simple and inex pensive, that anyone can understand and apply. The importance of prompt ness ana thoroughness is vital, for the disease will not cure itself, and Nature, alone, unaided, will not accomplish a cure, while the consequences are too painful for detailed description. You are told how piles originate, the reason for their appearance usually betng .that some of the rules of correct living have been violated, and what is more to the point) how you may rid yourself of this bane of human existence All affections of the rectum are treated in simple, plain language, so that all may under stand, and learn how the cause may be removed. Many people suffer from piles because after trying the numerous lo tions, ointments and salves that are on the market, without- relief, they come to the conclusion that a surgical opera tion is the only thing left to try, and rather than submit to the shock and risk to- life of an operation, prefer to suffer on. This little book tells how this may be avoided, -and a cure be ef fected without pain, inconvenience or detention from business. Write your name and address plainly on a postal card, mail to- the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., and you will receive the book by return mail. 444'4;gl'4i4'4i4;44'49'i3 Jfe.44&ikMHk44 C i 4 4 4 WE Close Out Dur Parlor Goods We need the room for our immense Carpet Stock, so we have decided to change.

At times the secretions from the kid neys were too frequent and at other times scanty, highly colored and dis tressing. I learned about Doan's Kid ney Pills two years ago and obtained two boxes. They heloed me wonder fully, relieved the pain in my back and corrected the kidney- secretions.
